Holy shit!
OK! So there's a lot to report! I'm sorry I'm not the best about keeping shit up to date but I'm going to try and fill people in.
1. In case for some reason you are seriously out of date on my news, I am moving to Champaign, to go to the University of Illinois.
You may in fact witness me wandering around in my Illinois hoodie.
2. I bought a hoody. Hoodie. Whichever. You had to see me in the bookstore for half a fucking hour picking the damn thing out. I also have an Illinois scarf and wifebeater. Is this overkill? Maybe. But dammit I'm going to school!
3. Today I picked out an apartment. It's a 2nd floor 1 bedroom, and there's only 2 tenants in the building, which is great. I'm going to need to buy a new showerhead, not to mention take out the wallpaper in the bedroom. (Kelly, I will need your sage advice.)
It's not perfect. But it's spacious, quiet, and the heat is included. The landlord seems like an alright guy who answers his phone. Maybe I can talk the downstairs tenants into splitting some internet, because I'm not going to be picking up signal from anywhere.
Buildings here all look fucking shady, for the record. Nobody takes care of their exteriors.
It's further from campus than I'd like but there's a good bus line and it's 2 miles exactly to the Psych building. So maybe a car would be for the best.
I looked at closer places and they sucked. This place is good. At least you don't have to worry about parking in Chambana.
4. So yeah, I'm leaving for Louisville whenever the fuck I manage to pack up my life. This will take time. I also need to take pictures of my apartment for Craig's list. A small part of me is tempted to see if we could rent my apartment out as a vacation place and then I wouldn't have to give it up. Ah well.
OK so now I'm going to write a list of shit to do. It won't be complete but I gotta write it somewhere.
1. Application for new apartment.
2. Lease for New Place.
3. Figure out how to sublet my old place.
4. Take pictures, advertise on Craigs list.
5. Clean.
6. Pack. (Get boxes from Binny's.)
7. Give away anything and everything. Seriously people, now is the time to ask me for something.
8. Get the timeline together.
9. Find someone to take care of my cat while I'm in Louisville.
10. Move to Champaign.
11. Finish some poetry and prose.
12. Choose classes/get advised/advice.
13. Fill out FAFSA/find W2.
14. Panic.
15. Get laid. Seriously this is something I should take care of.
16. Stop listening to this fucking 80s music.
17. Figure out whether I'm asking people to help move on the 28th or 29th. I will give booze and pizza! And you'll be rid of me for ages!
Yeah, there's stuff to do. For sure. Along with activities that aren't on the list but take time anyway, like missing Jeffrey and petting the kitten. Life is good, just completely fucking out of control. But I'm all UIgeared out. And I bought the world's tackiest UI bathrobe for my mom. Hahahaha.
