It seems like every entry recently I’ve written is about my new apartment. I guess it has been occupying my mind a lot. I’d like for it to become the place I go to when I’m bored one day, I’d like to be 100% comfortable in my home. I have a couple of compliments about my room though. My bathroom didn’t come with a bathroom mirror sucks completely sucks, but luckily i went to buy a full length one a while back. They said they would get me a new one soon, I hope they keep their word. My faucet is kind of weak, I need one of those Delta faucets. Haha. Also my shower rod has been acting up.

But what can I say, this place can’t be perfect!

I haven’t been able to sleep as much as I want to. My class schedule is insane this semester; people who know me will be surprised to see me up at 7am everyday. Yeah, it sucks, but I’m getting used to it. I mean, I have to wake up right? I haven’t purposely skipped classes yet and I’m proud! I thought I was going to have to stop by a Starbucks coffee place before I get into class every morning but I’ve been staying up.

But it’s only been two weeks, I hope I don’t get lazier by the day; which is highly possible.

Having my own kitchen it was good thing. Although sharing with 3 other people with supplies and whatnot, it feels good cooking in your own kitchen. I haven’t cooked anything yet because I’m still missing a lot of ingreidents to cook with. And it also takes me a while to adjust to new surroundings. I can’t wait until I cook my first meal at the apartment! I’ve been trying to look for some good recipes online and haven’t been really successful but I don’t think I’ve been looking hard enough.

There are a lot of pros and cons to having your own apartment. One of the big cons are that you are bound to spend a ridiculous amount of money. It seems never-ending right now. I went grocery shopping and shopping in general for apartment stuff the other day. I thought I was done but when I turn around to a different corner of the apartment, I discover a new necessity that we need. Not really do I need stuff for the apartment but also for myself. I’ve been using cheap face wash for awhile now and haven’t been seeing any good results so I just spent a good amount on one that my friend highly recommended. So far so good, my face is not breaking out yet to the point where I have to to an acne treatment cream; but let’s knock on wood.

As for the pros, there’s a sense of growing up when you have your own place. There is also a big step to independence even enough my parents helped me out with most of the supplies. This is no longer a dorm where you have an RA to whine and complain to, who watches you like a hawk 24/7. It feels nice.

I’m still trying to get situated in my apartment. I like it a lot. As I mentioned in the post before this, I want to get a rain jacket, a nice one. I either want a red or yellow one. I’m going to head to Dick’s Sporting Goods tomorrow to try to find a decent one. Too bad my best friend doesn’t work there anymore, no more discounts! Haha, it’s okay though, I’ll live. My friend has been looking for some Callaway golf clubs to buy for her dad so I’ll check that out for her as well when I’m there.

I’ve probably had the worst week I’ve had in a while; from what I remember. And only two of this week was bad. On Wednesday, it decided to rain. At first I was like, its okay, I have rain gear such as my rainboots, umbrella and rain jacket. As I was walking out to meet my friend to take the city bus to school, I realized that I had forgotten my umbrella at Michaels house the day before. But I said to myself, have no fear!, my yellow jacket will keep my dry. Turns out, its not a rain jacket; its just a windbreaker. So as we walked to the bus, it rained soooo hard. I was practically soaked. To top it off, the bus was a bit late. So when it got here, I got on the bus and tried to dry up. As I was contemplating whether or not I should just get off to get some dry clothes, I decided to go ahead and buy an umbrella at the school bookstore. To my luck, they were sold out of umbrellas. For the next 10 minute walk to class, I tried sucking it up. My roommate was kind enough to come pick me up after class to prevent anymore wetness on me.

On Thursday as my friend and I walked to my car to drive to class, I couldn’t find my car. So I just thought, maybe I forgot I parked it somewhere else. No..it was nowhere to be found. We missed our first two classes panicking around. Turns out it was towed the previous night because my permit wasn’t in view. I didn’t have to pay full price but it was nonetheless a lot of money and a waste of money.

I’m not sure what I would do if it were stolen. I’m glad it isn’t.

PS. anyone hear about progesterone?

School has been actually not so bad. Living in an apartment makes you feel a bit less lazy and its good because of my early schedule. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I have to wake up at 8am to give myself some time to take the bus. The bus is another thing; the only thing that makes me dread classes. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have to wake up at 7am because of the 8am class I have. Believe me when I say this but I am totally not used to waking up early at all. I do not enjoy mornings, I believe mornings are for sleep but when my schedule contradicts that, it kind of sucks. Surprisingly so, I haven’t had much trouble waking up to get ready. I’ve been to every one of my classes excluding my PE class. I’m proud of myself! It’s like I’m growing up with no intentions!

Oh yeah, you should buy auto insurance online! It saves a lot of time!

I’ve always wanted to do something on that weekend but it never seems to work out. I guess we never do any good planning for something to happen. Everyone I know goes to the beach with their families and whatnot and I would like to do the same. I would actually like to go on one of those nice cruises but everyone knows that’s not going to happen. haha. But my parents are going to see my sister and her family that whole week so I doubt that will happen anytime soon. They don’t really like the beach either but it’s okay; thats why I have friends for! I want to plan a day trip to the beach. leave early in the morning and leave at night. This weekend is the first free weekend I’ve had in a while. Hopefully I get to persuade Michael!

Some of my friends birthdays are coming up and its time to plan some big gathering once again. We do this every day and I guess it never gets old; except when some people are too cheap to pitch in to their loyal friend who never hesitates to spend a penny on any celebration including yours. We usually try to fine something kind of pricey because they cannot get it for something reason and also some nice and funny personalized gifts. I love being in charge of that kind of stuff. I’ve always been good at that; being creative and creating it as a gift form. Well off I go brainstorming.

It’s been awhile since I’ve listened to my music. Not only because my computer is being fixed right now but I guess sharing a room with someone else with completely different music taste has something to do with it. I haven’t found any good new music in a while which is rare as well. I don’t really use my MP3 player as often anymore but I think I should once in a while now that I don’t have any music I call my own. MP3 players are quite nifty at these times of emergencies.
