in disbelief...
first night at my new place.
i'm exhausted.
spent the last two days running all over the city with my parents looking for a mattress and a wardrobe (since i don't have a closet).
found both, but the mattress can't be delivered for a week and a half. somehow managed to get the wardrobe back here (in pieces) without killing/maiming anyone.
just got back from driving from virginia to maryland and back again, picking up some of my roomie's stuff and then returning the rental truck.
have a hand-me-down mattress from my roomie's girlfriend to sleep on until mine comes.
unfortunately my bed is not yet assembled. and i can't find my sheets.
i'm all sweaty from moving all of this stuff all day and need to take a shower. but i can't find my towels.
the only thing i have to eat for breakfast is oatmeal, but i can't find my coffee mugs to microwave it in.
i have some decent clothes to wear to work tomorrow, but they're balled up in my suitcase. and i can't find the iron.
it's 1:30AM and i have to be at the office by 9 for my very first day of work. have to take the bus to work. have never used the bus system here. not so sure where the bus stop IS. (got directions to it online but i'm still a bit worried.)
so, no sleep, no shower, no breakfast, and very wrinkled clothes. hopefully i will at least be on time.
this is all very surreal. it reminds me of my first day at oglethorpe when i flew down to atlanta, my aunt picked me up, took me to my dorm, and dropped me off, and i was alone with my three suitemates, with my college career staring me in the face.
now here i am, my parents have brought me here, dropped me off with my three roommates, and i have the beginning of my legal career staring me in the face.
this is only the second time in my life i've ever moved, and both times i've done it alone.
i don't feel homesick or panicked yet, but perhaps i'm just in denial.
i have a lot of deep thoughts about all of this, but right now i'm just exhausted. i'm going to go to bed. if i can find some sheets. and something to sleep in. or fuck it all and i'm just laying down some t-shirts on the mattress...
