procrastination

I am moving in two days. I should be at home packing, but instead I'm sitting in the science building lobby (I figured I needed a break from the library and Minne), wasting time online and stuffing my face with an iced mocha and a cinnamon bun approximately the size of my head. I have a tutoring appointment in an hour and a half (YAY for accelerated language classes-the stress they cause students provides me with work!), so I figured there was no point in going home; by the time I worked up enough motivation to get anything done I'd have to go back to campus.

I am SO excited to move into my new apartment, even though I'll only be there for a couple months. It's a huge improvement on where I'm living now. Let's compare my current apartment and my new one, shall we?

CURRENT
rent is nearly $400 a month for a damp, dirty, decrepit basement-level apartment that my dad has so charmingly dubbed "the bat cave"

NEW
rent is only $200 a month for a spacious, well-kept, main-level apartment

CURRENT
has provided a variety of nasty creepy-crawlies, from centipedes as thick as my finger to bats hanging out in my bedroom heating vent

NEW
has three adorable, well-behaved dogs (the girl I'm living with is a dog trainer for the humane society)

CURRENT
has a bird poop-splattered parking lot

NEW
has an actual yard with grass

The only real downside to the new place is that it's about a mile away from campus; my current place is only about two blocks away. Honestly, though, that doesn't bother me much. I had to walk even farther than that to get to school in Granada, and at least I'll be getting a little exercise.

I think I'm going kayaking later today. My friend Mako wants to go a lot this summer, so I know I have a kayaking buddy/someone to fish me out of the water if I capsize my kayak. It's been really warm and muggy these past few days, so being out on the lake sounds like a really good idea right now.

Okay, I still have an hour until my tutoring appointment and I've run out of things to say, so maybe I will just go home and get a little more packing done.

Besos!
