To Do Ta Da

This week is going to be a lot of fun though extremely packed with events and “to-dos”.  I’m looking forward to it a lot though, despite how tense and stressed I feel right now.  It’ll be so rewarding to go to bed in a decorated and finished apartment all to myself, with my life temporarily arranged as I like it.  All will once again be under my control and completely out of control.  I’m definitely a little more than on edge and I feel like a runner, backed up against the spring waiting for the gun to fire.

Highlights to look forward to this following week:

• “The Fly” with Steven and David tomorrow night.

• Sunday– organizing and packing my car with as much stuff as I can fit.

• Monday– opening up a savings account, paying first month’s, and driving to my new studio where I will unpack, arrange, and fix what I can before I’m due at school.

• First official Creative Connections meeting where I will take my place as Creative Connection’s official photographer.

• Meetings, rehearsals, interviews, gym-going, therapist-searching and practicing throughout the week, along with a no-bullshit job hunt.

• Knott’s Scary Farm on Thursday night!

• Tara’s “20’s Mystery Murder” party  (I seriously have the BEST costume, right out of Nana’s closet.)

• A long day of hauling the rest of my stuff to my studio, including my new stunted fridge, microwave and TV center!

• Steven and Rachelle’s much-awaited housewarming.  I think I’ll bring them a chia pet.

• Sunday, organizing my place in hopes that I can go to bed with everything finished!

The only thing that’ll blow for a little while, is not having any TV or internet at home. Though, I seriously think it’ll make me 1000 times more productive, since when I go home it’ll force me to study and I will spend a lot less time just sitting on Facebook and/or watching “Celebrities Without Makeup.”

Now it’s all about waiting for the gun to fire on Monday….

Signing my life away

Well I signed the lease to the studio today, and while I’m happy to be saying goodbye to roommates, I’m not entirely comfortable with the added responsibilty.  From here on out there’s no bullshitting around with bills, working and managing my money.

My Nana is going to help me out by buying me a microwave and a mini-fridge tonight (along with a few other necessities) and then I’m moving to my apartment on Monday the 22nd.  I’m not bring much– just a blow-up bed and a car full of what I can fit.  Then that weekend I’m going to finish the move.

I have good feelings about this year– really positive feelings.

I just discovered Radiohead…

which is kind of weird considering that I’ve owned and listened to every single CD of theirs for years, but suddenly it’s like a new pair of boots, for lack of a better analogy.  I don’t think I ever really listened to them before.

Well I don’t want to jinx anything, but I think the studio apartment is actually going to work out!  I got a call from Maria today, and she said that my application was approved and she wanted to know when I could move in.  I pitched her the 22nd, she said “great” and that I’d be hearing from her tomorrow to set up a time to come in and sign the lease.  I’m estatic.  It’s not the “perfect” place, but its mine, which is the most important fact.

I’m back being vegan too, which feels great though the first thing I went out and bought was Soy Creamy… not the healthiest choice considering that there is 200 calories in 1/2 of non-dairy goodness.  That’s right around Dreyers’ count.
