I hope everyone's been enjoying the 3-day weekend! It's been relaxing yet productive for me - after getting only three hours of sleep on Thursday night (in the midst of a large application, PHI 12 problem set, and catching up on Arabic homework), I had a tour and a Mondavi show and then rewarded myself with eight hours of sleep Friday evening. Another tour Saturday morning, but then I went out to lunch with a friend to celebrate being done with the application for the position we're applying for in our pre-law fraternity.
I headed over to a friend of a friend's apartment to check out her place - I might be rooming with her next year. I obviously won't be a resident advisor for next year, what with being in D.C. for fall quarter, so I need a place to live next year (preferrably somewhere that's close to campus but cheap enough that I can still afford to pay rent for the quarter that I'm gone). Most of my friends have their housing for next year worked out already - the curse of my freshmen year friends living together after the 1st year - so I've been stressing about that a lot lately, but luckily a friend told me about a girl from her church group that was looking for a third roommate to live in an apartment complex right next to school - a complex that happened to be my first choice due to its low price for the location! So I went by yesterday to meet her and tour her apartment. She was really nice (her name is also Christine, which will be awkward yet hilarious) and the apartment was amazing. I'll be meeting her housemates next week and will hopefully be all good to go after that! So relieved to be almost done with housing.
I also managed to vacuum and semi-dust my room yesterday, as well as take care of laundry and my sheets. Having a clean room always makes me happy... plus it's a great way to procrastinate on working on a 10-page paper for my Theories of International Relations class (I have to turn in a rough draft by Thursday and all I have so far is a vague outline). I'll be taking care of that today and tomorrow, in between going out to see The Woman in Black and to Sacramento to try out a new vegetarian restaurant with the guy I'm dating.
The weather's been getting nicer over the past few weeks - spring is here! It's supposed to be 74 on Wednesday, which will be wonderful since I've really missed warm weather. The trees in the courtyard outside my window are starting to bloom - I might post pictures in a couple weeks. I love springtime in California.
I think the biggest thing in this post is that you're dating someone. But I won't press for details!
ReplyDeleteI hope everything get's worked out with your housing for next year!
What did you think of The Woman in Black?
