No pictures yet though because this place needs major fixing up. We got totally shortchanged here man. It was dirty, shit was broken/missing, etc. We got them to give us priority maintenance though, by complaining. And they also gave us a $25 Visa gift card and a $15 Starbucks card because they felt bad.

We have yet to fix up the living room, though. We need to like, majorly clean the upholstery because it's nasty and because it is super ugly, we're going to try to cover it with some sort of fabric. We also need coasters and junk like that. Maybe some bar stools for our little bar :D

The girls are awesome. I really do like them, which is awesome. I was scared I would switch apartments from the one with Ashleigh and the two other girls and get matched up with some crazy girls. But I didn't! And I'm so relieved.

Anyway, classes start again on Monday and I am not excited, to say the least. At least I know I already have a job. That makes everything way less stressful; even me being totally broke. I know I'll have paychecks coming in soon. Thank god.

I

finally uploaded my pictures from the National Zoo in D.C.:) You can find them here in my newly created Photo Gallery! Check them out.

In other news, I move in 4 days... almost 3. There was a lot of... drama with the girls in my apartment to where I contacted the apartment complex and got switched into a new apartment (thank God for individual leases). I don't know the new girls yet, and the complex forgot to email me their information Friday, so I need to contact them Monday as soon as they open. I move on Wednesday; I need to know what I need to bring now! Eek!

I've got most of my stuff packed up now. My room feels so empty. I threw out all my old posters and moved my packed boxes into the downstairs living room (I have so much stuff) so my room is just... empty. And the walls look too white now that nothing is on them haha.

Anyway, I want to work on this site some more, so I'm off to do that!

o I guess by now you've seen my sweet new layout?! I've heard the background is a little bright... sorry! I made it on my laptop and I always have the top bent a little which dims and makes it a bit duller. Woops :P

Work has been going better. I'm not as anxious as I have been. I've been able to get through my shifts without panicking lately :) and I've been meeting cool people that work there. Too bad I leave in 12 days and probably won't see them ever again haha.

I'm painting tomorrow--my bookcase and desk hutch. I'm excited. Well, kind of. I hope I don't mess it up. Eek. I'm going to tape it off first so it should be okay.

Anyway, I'm just sitting here watching Degrassi. I haven't watched that show in over a season so I keep seeing people and being like "Who the heck are they?!" I need to keep up with my tv more, geez.

I

have been sitting around doing nothing lately. I've bought the final things I needed for my apartment though, sheets and pillows! I also bought cute green glass tea candle holders from Pier 1 for 50 cents! Nice! :)

My mom bought me paint and rollers so I can paint my bookshelf and hutch. I'm excited.

I move in 15 days. My room is going to be amazing. I will post pictures of it's awesomeness. And probably some pictures of the rest of the apartment, ee!

Random updates! Get ready for it.

-- My house has roaches. Still. Even after Terminix came and sprayed a few weeks ago. DISGUSTING! If they come with me when I move into my apartment, I will raise hell.

-- I joined Verity. It's such a great little MB. You should join (and say fallingfaster referred you). ;)

-- I've been downloading things onto my computer like crazy ever since I downloaded uTorrent. We're talking multiple bands' discographies (Underoath, Gwen Stacy, etc), Season 3 of Weeds (you need to watch it), Sims 2 Seasons expansion pack and the Sims 2 IKEA home stuff pack.

-- Because of all this, I asked my mom for an external hard drive. Robert said he would give me the one he had when he worked for the FDA (or some other random government agency). Gotta love free technology!

-- I've started Plurk-ing. Haha. Such a funny word. Check it out on my sidebar--it's like Twitter only better!

-- I registered for my psych class I needed (and dropped calculus, whatever--I took it in high school anyway) and bought my textbooks online. It came out to be over $280. Fuck college.

-- I had a panic attack at work yesterday. It was terrible and I felt like a total freaking idiot walking into the break room to get my Xanax with my face all messed up and almost crying. Nice way to walk into a room of new coworkers :(
