It was strongly suggested to me that I blog my first year of graduate school. Well I've decided it could be fun to document my life and all my new experiences. So here it is...
It's my first night alone in my apartment and it's only been 3 days since I moved to Seattle so the adjustment period is serious. On Saturday I got on a plane and flew almost 800 miles with my mom by my side. She was probably the only reason I wasn't constantly crying about the move. We (mostly me) unpacked all my things and put them away. By the end of the day I had officially moved into my first apartment. Sunday was full of wrong buses, closed stores, and trying to find a place to buy pillows which turned to to be a fail. Eventually we gave up on those things and did what we know best, shopping and sightseeing! We went to the museum of glass and to the Space Needle! After walking around downtown Seattle for hours, it was time to come home so I could finish last minute apartment things. I never thought about all the things I'd have to do just to make my apartment feel like home.
After 4 years of living in a small dorm room, an apartment is a major upgrade. Living in an apartment comes with all the responsibilities I don't like. Cooking, cleaning the kitchen, cleaning the bathroom, and taking out the trash. Everyone who knows me can say I'm not the domestic type. This year of being in my own apartment where I have to take care of myself shall be interesting. Not to mention I have to balance it with being in a new city, starting grad school, and my first year as an Assistant Resident Director. I am in for a world of change in this next year and I hope I can make it through it all. Time to put on my big girl pants and see just what type of grown up I will be.
