On Starting School and Moving

School started yesterday, if you haven't already seen my other blog about it. (http://journeythroughoci.blogspot.com)  It's amazing so far and I love it!!  I can't help but feel a little sad though, someone very dear to me, my friend William that I mentioned before, is not a part of this, as I thought he would be.  Things just didn't work out that way.

My mom came in tonight, she's here until next Wednesday to help me pack and ship my things and help me move into my new apartment.  I really appreciate the help since I won't have time to do any of it.  I began going through my things last week and realized that there is very little of it that I actually want or need to keep.  I already have three large boxes in the living room of stuff I don't want.  It's amazing how much stuff I've been moving from place to place and can really live without!

The place I found to live is really awesome!  The house is Victorian and has a nice kitchen and a beautiful bathroom with a claw-foot tub.  There is a washer and dryer downstairs (YAY for not having to get quarters anymore!).  I will be living there with 3 or 4 other people (I'm not entirely sure).  The room I'm in is pretty large, with easily enough room for my couch, tv, desk and dresser.  The best part?  The closet is big enough to sleep in!  The plan is to use the room as living space and set up a small bed (most likely a mattress on the floor) in the closet.  It will be nice and dark and quiet!!  The price is a little more than I wanted to pay for a place I will be mostly just sleeping in, but it's a 10-minute walk to school along a lovely path and a 10-minute drive to and from work.  The convenience alone is worth the extra money.

Well, I had best get off of here and do my homework!  :-)
