it's bittersweet for me to know.
Updating because 11:52 is way too early to go to sleep.
So, today was spent taking stuff up to my apartment in Santa Barbara with my mom. Actually, it was mainly spent shopping for the apartment. First, I got a twin bed, which was actually the easiest thing to do, since the guy at the mattress place was really nice and they delivered it for free. Then, a desk, which was more complicated because all of the desks we liked at Staples were out of stock, but we ended up finding something at Office Max. Hell if I'm going to try and assemble that thing, though, so we scheduled for someone to come and do it on the 26th, when I'll be back here. But getting that thing up the stairs was an endeavor. We also got a microwave, a chair (the same one that my roommate has, actually), bedding (I love my new comforter, it's blue and green and plaid), some drinking glasses (it was harder than it should have been to find nice ones), and towels (my mom insisted on getting ones that matched my bedding, wtf). Anyway, it was pretty much a whole-day affair, though I also unpacked most of what I brought up, even though everything isn't necessarily in place yet. I'll have to add the finishing touches when I'm back here.
OH CRAP. Emily brought me oreo cupcakes and I forgot to have one. I'll have to eat one in the morning or something, though, since I already brushed my teeth. Man, I feel bad for forgetting. ;__;
Anyway, Emily is my friend who is going to be my roommate and who I lived with in a suite last year, though we weren't in the same room then. She's really sweet, though she can be kind of neurotic sometimes. I introduced her to Supernatural last year, so I'm sure we'll be watching season 4 together this year. I'll have to get her started on Heroes next if we have time. She's only seen the first two episodes of season one, and yet most of season two, and that is just wrong. Though that reminds me: we still need to get the cable installed here, and the place that does it was closed today. That'll have to be worked out soon.
I met my other housemate for the first time today. Her name's Lauren, and while she seems nice enough, she also seems like the kind of girl who goes out a lot, and the bathroom is packed with her stuff. Her room was also a mess when we got here, but that doesn't really bother me because I don't have to be in there, and it's her space. She cleaned up, though, so I guess we'll see how neat she is when we're all settled in. Uhh, I wouldn't go so far as to call her a ditz yet, and I wouldn't want to prejudge her. I'm curious to know what shows she watches (she seemed intent on getting cable). I got a quick look at her room and she had some DVDs lying around. The only one that really stood out to me was Clerks II, which is plus points in my book. I didn't see the original, though, which is minus points. Anyway, we'll see how that all works out once class has started.
We go back down to Los Angeles tomorrow -- I'm pretty sure the only thing we need to do before we leave is drop off some forms at the financial aid and billing offices. All in all, this was successful! I'll stick around in LA until the 23rd (must be home for the Heroes premiere), and then Andrew will be flying me back up here in style! But ohhh man, House and Supernatural and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia next week. YES, MAKE THE WAIT FOR HEROES A LITTLE EASIER, THANKS. ♥
