rivendellroseFirst week of the job seems to have gone pretty well. I'm still sort of in panicky "I can't really do a lot of things so I feel like a total slacker/loser/lame-ass" land, but I expect that will be changing by next week. I'm already doing some of the work, I just can't do it without my mentor being here to assign it and check it over for me.
K and I signed a lease for an apartment last night, with the start date of July 1. Now that I look, I realize that July 1st is a Saturday, so probably we won't get a lot of moving done that weekend because I figure they'll need to clean the carpets and stuff before we can actually move in. But we've got it, anyway. It's a bit small, but it's in exactly the area we wanted, and it's a very nice little place. Now I seriously need to get my butt in gear on getting rid of junk, packing stuff, cleaning the current house, etc. Loads of fun. And figuring out what of my furniture needs to go away. I'm debating selling/getting rid of my futon and buying a new bed... the futon is huge (which I love, but which is impractical in a small apartment), and it might be handier to have something with more storage space underneath. At the same time, I like my futon, and dislike the idea of having to buy new furniture. Good thing I have a month to make this decision. :P
I foresee a lot of fussing in the next month or so. Fussing, listing of items that I need to get rid of, hauling piles of junk to various thrift stores and such-like, packing away stuff I don't use and sending it home to my parents... Ah, the joys of moving.
