moving: this kills the woman

You might have noticed the distinct lack of posts for the better part of last week.  If you're paying attention to my twitter, you know that the chaos of moving suddenly and abruptly took over my life.  I moved in on Thursday (the 23rd), and spent basically all of Friday after work on unpacking.  I'm still not entirely done, honestly.  I also, unfortunately, accidentally took a bunch of my friend's stuff that she was intending someone else to temporarily store.  On the other hand, what else was I supposed to think when I saw her boxes standing there with a note scrawled on them saying "Thank you Sue"?  I'm still not entirely sure how else I was supposed to take that...  Oh well.  Hopefully she'll come by for them once she gets back from Chi-town and my room will get even neater.  (And hopefully she'll be more specific with things next time...)  In the meantime, some pics of the room!

 

 


It's definitely not completely done on the unpacking front, but I'm pretty pleased with the room...other than the fact that I don't have any full-size sheets.  Oops?  Guess that'll be one of the first things I buy with my first paycheck.

Obviously, with work, and packing-moving-unpacking chaos, there wasn't much time to bother with dressing nicely (seriously, I moved someone into their new place on Monday night, and then I moved into my new dorm on Thursday...) I did bother with something other than short-shorts and a tank top on Saturday, though, since that was basically my errands day. Probably fancier than grocery shopping and picking up packages merited, but whatever.

Shirt/rings/shoes - F21 | Shorts - Kate Spade Saturday | Tights - Walmart

Hopefully I'll have figured out our common area lighting by the time next week rolls around...it's kind of a special setup, and nobody's really bothering to actually do anything in the common area. My suite doesn't seem too interested in socializing with each other, which is kind of sad. Hopefully that'll also start happening soon!

How was your past week?

    Good luck with everything. I can totally relate. I moved at the end of last year and it was so much of a bigger task than I expected!

      Thanks! And ha, yeah. I think that no matter how often you move, it can still be a bit more to deal with than you expect.

    I haaaate moving too!! I'm actually supposed to move myself soon, I just can't sign the lease application because I'm dreading moving so much!! I'm just trying to imagine how beautiful life will be once I'm settled in my new place that's next to a park, a pond, two coffeeshops and my favorite gourmet grocery store.

    Moving is an absolute bitch, sorry for the lack of a better word lOL. We used to move every 2-3 years, so I can totally relate to how you're feeling. But hey, your new dorm looks great.. everything takes time, so take it easy and enjoy your new nesting grounds :) Oh, and the shorts look adorable!

      No worries, it's an apt descriptor! My first move ever was about four years ago now, and I know I'll be moving at least three times a year or thereabout. (Once in at the beginning of the year, into somewhere else for summer, into new housing at the beginning of the year again...) Thanks! I definitely intend to rest at least a little and just enjoy having a room that doesn't include two other people. c: Thank you!

    I just moved too. Your place looks like much less of a disaster than mine!

      Haha! That's only because I didn't show you my bed. That spot's a disaster area still.

HI! Please read this before you comment!

I love to hear from my readers and those new to my blog (feel free to url-drop if you need to)! Interacting with people can be so inspiring. PLEASE DON'T leave me just "FOLLOW MY BLOG" messages that you copypasta on dozens of blogs - I follow blogs when I feel inspired by their content, and I try to show it by actively commenting on the content they've generated. I will delete these responses, because they make me extremely uncomfortable. (Yes, I'm aware that's pretty odd... I'm sorry).

That said, I hope you have a lovely day!
