Moved Out
I am now officially moved out of my first apartment. Even though we moved just about everything out last weekend, I still got a little sad thinking about it. Maybe I wouldn't feel quite as sad if I was moving someplace new, but for now I'm back home in Houston, trying to find a job. The good news about my apartment was that they're upscaling the whole complex and putting in brand new everything, which meant I didn't have to do any hard-core cleaning to get ready to leave. That was a pleasant surprise, especially since it was over one hundred degrees in Austin and I really didn't feel like sweating more than I had to.
While I am sad to leave my apartment and Austin, now is the time to focus on a) getting a job and b) getting all of my stuff sorted, organized and ready to move when I do get a job. I honestly did not realize how much stuff I accumulated while I was living there! And not big stuff, either just little knick-knack things that sort of appear over time or duplicates of things I already have here at home that I got for convenience, but now just take up space I don't have. So, there are plenty of boxes to be sorted through and repacked, things to be given or thrown away, etc. That's enough to keep any feelings of sadness at bay for now!
