wants:
a job
bookcase
mirror for my door
doorknobs/lock/latch/some way to close said doors
soda
basket for toiletries
but mostly, a job. i might find out about one or two tomorrow. eek.
at least i have sold my car, bought a desk, bed, bedding, lamp, drawers, hangers, nightstand, fan, and lots of groceries, and i've unpacked all my boxes. that's a good feeling. :)
oh, and i passed the capitol police test with 100% on each test :D
i'm basically all moved into our lovely little house on Elliott St in DC, and I'm really liking it here so far. Sure, there's the homesick moments, but for the most part, it feels right here. i'm out of my comfort zone, seeing things i never would have seen back home in OC. some things frighten the crap out of me, like the insane girl fistfight i witnessed up close and personal (read: literally two inches away from my face) on the bus saturday night. other things are magnificent, like the library of congress and the Capitol building. there's all sorts of people out here, and it's never boring to people watch. tomorrow i'm taking myself to the National Gallery of Art, and I can't wait to see some beautiful things. it's nice to just be able to hop on a bus or train and be at a fabulous museum. this was a huge step to take, coming all the way out here - but so far, i'm glad i did it.
and more good news: haven't relapsed with strep throat at ALL thank goodness!!
