Speaking of which, I’d like to give a big thanks to Raul, Bryan & Phil for taking time out of their busy Saturdays to help me!
The actual move wasn’t as painstaking as I thought it would be. It never is, but I somehow always dread it in the days right up to it. I woke up around 8AM that day just getting stuff together, folding clothes and putting everything I could think of in boxes for people to take with them. It’s a miracle I didn’t lose anything.
The one thing I didn’t plan for, though, was the renting of the U-Haul truck – BIG mistake on my part. Apparently Memorial Day weekend is the busiest time for companies like U-Haul because EVERYONE decides to move around that time. Fortunately, Evan’s parents (who have an Odyssey) called saying they wanted to help out too so I ended up not needing one. that day. (whoo!)
I still have to hang pictures and put some stuff in storage, but otherwise I’m all comfy in my new digs. I took a jog the other day to check out the neighborhood – and it is NICE. There’s a Blockbuster, Korean Super market, Marie Calendars, Starbucks & Jack in the Box all within walking distance and I live just a couple miles away from the Galleria & Americana!
My new roommate’s name is Robert (but we can call him Rob) and he seems pretty chill. He’s pretty ambitious though, which is an odd change of pace for me – when he’s not at his job, he’s working on starting his own internet business. I think he wants to be one of those dot.com millionaires one day cuz he keeps telling me about success stories of twenty-something millionaires who got rich from some business they started that a lot of people don’t think about.
Ex. Gumball machines that sell those really bouncy rubber balls. Apparently those things only cost a penny to make; but everyone buys them for a Quarter ~ that’s 2,500% profit! (Instant millionaire)
I can tell he’s been trying to make an effort to be friends with me – last night, he asked what my plans for dinner were tonight cuz he wanted to cook. I think that’s pretty awesome.
I finally took some pictures.
