Wow. My last entry was pretty heavy stuff. I have to say that I'm quite glad that I sort of poured my heart out. Those sentiments were just festering in my mind, and now, I feel somewhat lighter. Actually no, feel a WHOLE LOT lighter.
Anyway, since school's over, I moved out of Silvers Apartments yesterday. Back in September, I intentionally didn't bring too many belongings. After sophomore year, I kinda lost my excitement over the whole "dorming" deal. Besides I knew I was gonna move out come May again anyway, so I just didn't bother with it.
At least I thought I didn't.
Somehow, I still managed to accumulate a whole load of things. Yesterday I realized that I had so much stuff. Pat's car wouldn't close! I had to get rid of some items such as my toaster over, electric fan and mini vacuum.
I took those items one by one to the dumpster. Funny coz each time I did, there would be a grad student by the dumpsters, who's going through the junk. I guess they know how wasteful college kids get during move-out day.
I simply asked them, "Care to have a fan?" And they gladly accepted. I did the same for the toaster and the vacuum, and I successfully got 'foster parents' for my old stuff. Talk about great Public Relations skills, eh? haha.
Most Grad students are known to be as poor as a church mouse. That's why I really felt good about myself by doing that. Not only did I prevent such waste of materials, I also displayed an act of generosity and good deed. So I'm patting myself on the back right now, you see?
At the moment, I'm staying at my sister's house. She's adopting me again for 2 weeks until I move into the off-campus apartment in June 1st. I can't wait!! For now, you can call me homeless. Although I know that my sister doesn't mind my staying here, I still feel bad coz she doesn't have her privacy when I'm around.
I'm just really hoping that the next two weeks would go by quickly.
Like the grad students by the dumpster who hoped to find something useful for themselves, I have such HOPE that everything will fall into place once I get settled in the apartment and be on my own. Hopefully, just like the grad students, I'd finally find what I'm looking for.
Coz then I'll be truly happy.
Or so I hope as well.
