I got out of bed for this?

Thus read my shirt today. I think it is appropriate. I spent today loading up all my shit into my dad's humongous Ford truck. This included my green leather La-Z-Boy, a folding table which shall be my desk, a 26" TV, a wire-basket dresser, and the TV stand (which is more of a nightstand than a TV stand, but it can hold the TV fine). Guess what. We had to lug them up stairs. A dolley is rendered useless by the several flights of mini-stairs littered through the apartment complex, and then my apartment is on the second floor (no elevator).

But, hey, we managed to lug everything inside (we being my dad and me). I was totally exhausted when everything was done, and then my parents are telling me to start unpacking stuff. Yeah right. I'll set out Fiona's food, water, and litter box, make sure my air mattress is pumped up with sheets on it, then I'm setting myself comfortably in my La-Z-Boy with my laptop. Unpacking is for tomorrow, when I'm not wiped out by carrying crap up and down stairs. (We also helped Allison, the former roomy that I'm replacing, carry her stuff out. Today was my earliest move-in date because today was also her earliest move-out date)

Will shall be in tomorrow at 5pm (he's my new roomy this year...and the guy who let me know about this apartment opportunity), so I'm alone for the moment, which means I can rest comfortably and settle in a bit before having to worry about social interaction.

Hm...Monday, I'll head down to campus to apply for a job or two and also settle my class schedule with the advisors. Perhaps purchase books. I also need to be sure to pay the pet deposit before Steve gets on my case about Fiona.

Oh, yes, did I mention? I brought Fiona up with me. She's my cat. I believe I already mentioned stuff about Fiona earlier, but I felt it wise to clarify for...clarification's sake. Right now, she is completely wiped out from the trip, and probably partially from the trauma of relocating to a new home (yes, for cats, a new home is quite a traumatic experience), so she is sleeping on the highest shelf of my closet. She was totally terrified when I first brought her in, so she'd managed to hide herself underneath the sink in the bathroom. I think she'll settle in fine in the next couple of days, though. After all, this morning she was totally sure I was about to leave her again, and wasn't one bit happy about it. Well, she guessed wrong. ^.^

So. Here's to the start of another year at UT. Wish me good fortune, please, for that is what I wish upon all of you.
