Excitement is in the air! On Friday it was finally confirmed that I'll get riseandshine as a roommate starting from January. This is a great relief in the way that although I am getting used to being by myself here at home, I still despair if I think about having to be alone for months and months and months. Everything just seems a little less tiring when I know I'm going to have company soon enough.
Another cool thing: our taiji teachers are going to start giving us sword lessons. This probably means that we're going to learn a series of movements with the sword. I went to buy a wooden sword today and now I am the proud owner of a pretty reddish brown one. :) Next I'm going to have to oil it so it won't break or bend.
I spent the weekend mostly cleaning the kitchen and arranging cupboards. I don't think I've ever seen them as white as they are now! I also discovered that a pipe has probably been leaking since the topmost shelf in the cupboard beneath the kitchen sink has cracked and the shelf was all brown under it. I called about it today and I hope someone comes to fix it quickly.
Today was hellish at work. The phone kept ringing continuously all through the first half of the day and when I finally got to have my lunch break around 1 pm I was nearing a mental breakdown. I was really mad there for a while and had difficulties with not glaring at random people until I managed to calm down and the rest of the day was a little easier. The evening I spent with arvoitus. She accompanied me to the martial arts shop and after that we went to her place, ate good food, watched the silly but fun Underworld 2 film and drank mulled wine. A very nice ending to a stressful day.
I hope tomorrow is easier.
