My favorite teacher from high school died two days ago. That was the first time I've ever cried after finding out someone had died, and really, the first time ever dealt with death. I always knew of people who died, but I never really experienced someone I know dying. I guess in some ways it's good that it took me 20 years to experience this, but also bad in some ways. I'm not looking forward to the next time it happens.
I moved into the new house last week. I say last week because it literally took a week. We all spent Saturday moving the big things with a truck, like beds, couches, TV's, etc, but during the week we kept having to make trips back to our old places to get the little things we were too lazy to pack and move on Saturday. By last Thursday we were all moved in, and we still aren't settled. We've arranged and rearranged the furniture in the living rooms like 3 times now, and I still have boxes all over my room, but at least it looks as messy as it did at my old apartment. It's starting to feel like home.
I'm going to Key West on Sunday for a week. And my birthday is Wednesday. My golden birthday! Turning 20 on the 20th in Key West. I'm excited.
