Goodbye Summer

Can't believe that school is starting in less than 2 weeks. It means more school work, exam stress, grad school application horror, and potential roommate drama (and when I say roommate drama, it is normally between my roommates and I don't get involved. If I had a showdown with other girls, I'll definately lose. I know I'm bitchy, but its the 'jokey' kind of bitchy, not the type filled with mallice and meant to hurt on a personal level).

Don't get me wrong; sharing an aaprtment with other people can be great fun. But last semester...well, last year it was very frustrating. There was a very messy apartment; a ton of dishes left in the sink unwashed; my eating utensils mysteriously vanished; used tissues lying on the carpet; clothes strewn over the floor; afterhour-boyfriend visits........great.

Downpoint of the weekend: the university housing department phoned me on Saturday afternoon telling me to get the keys for my new apartment, and also added that they want my backside out of my current apartment by 3pm Sunday. One large suitcase, one small suitcase and a bag of blankets might not sound so bad....but add ten boxes of books into the equation and you've got yourself a little problem. Doesn't help that I don't have friends willing to carry stuff with me.

Highlight of the weekend: I managed to move all my crap from one apartment into the other across the street in 6 hours. Granted, I had to ask the cleaning lady to carry my television for me because I tried lifting the thing up and I think my arms detached themselves from my shoulders. Alright, so I asked the lady to move my pillows (plural! Creature of comfort here) and some of my clothes as well. And maybe a few boxes of kitchenware. But I did carry a hefty load myself; otherwise my muscles won't be aching so much right now.

Fantastic, and I have to labour in the library tomorrow as well....I have a feeling my back is not going to be happy about this.
