ahh, good ol status quo.
So as I type this, I'm sitting on a patio in a condo in Maui, drinking maragritas and relaxing. Really, how good is this? Two good friends of mine are getting married down here (holy crap), so I got a practically free five days of beachin, drinkin, relaxin, drinkin, etc. Preeeetty awesome.
In other news, Brian and I FINALLY got the whole living situation worked out, which is a HUGE load off stress-wise. I thought I was going to be homeless at the end of the month, but we found ourselves an affordable 2BR/2BA apartment in Chantilly, so now we're only about 15 minutes from campus and 5 minutes from both of our jobs. SO nice. I'm still bummed that we're not going to be able to throw random binge drink fests like we have for the last year in the townhouse, but hey, I guess it's someone else's turn to deal with the clean up now, eh?
So I'm in a pretty good place right now. I remember back in my last entry (yes I know it was a while ago, I lead a boring life) I had all sorts of stress going on, and now practically all of that has been worked out... I'm coming back from Hawaii on Tuesday, already have a place lined up, and an entire week to clean the shit out of the townhouse and get my crap moved in to this apartment. Our lease starts the day I get back, and our old lease is still up through July 1st, so actually I'll kind of own an apartment AND a townhouse for a week. Ha. Weird. Being damn near flat-ass broke is still an issue, but hey, when I get back from this I pretty much have nothing to do for the rest of the summer, so I'll be working pretty much every day between now and the end of August. I should be alright, eh?
Anyway. This is the first trip like this I've taken in four years. Actually, the first time I was on a fuckin AIRPLANE for four years, which is pretty odd considering my father is an airline pilot and I can fly anywhere for practically nothing (LITERALLY nothing for in-country travel). I don't take advantage of this nearly enough, and I'm running out of time; next summer, I'll lose that privilege due to the fact that I won't be a full-time student anymore. Fuck! I guess it's mostly due to the fact that I have no one else who can do this so easily, and it's not like I'm going to do this kind of thing myself frequently. I'd get lonely. :]
