I just changed my address forms. Isn't the internet a wonderful thing. Now if I could just turn of my electricity from the computer. Add that to my list of things to do for tomorrow....

I'm in California. I've moved half of my stuff into my new place. Now if Andrea will only find places for hers I could move the rest in. It's a lovely room. I think I'm going to get a cat. We walked here and there all day running errands, and i'm tired and sunburned. All in all not a bad day. The weather is beautiful! Tomorrow I intend to do........nothing! After I talk to my boss and the housing people....

I'm leaving tomorrow. I am. I'm going to get all packed up and out of here. If it kills me. I will do it. I want to start working, and make my place pretty, and stuff. I'm leaving. Tomorrow.

Do I have to do this? I mean really? All this packing is making me antsy....

I'm not entirely sure how much longer I'll have internet, so I'm going to blog now. My apartment is half packed -- Matt and I are loading my van full of stuff to take to his place...amazing how much fits in there! We just got my love seat and a wingback chair in at the same time. It's been a long job. Matt's back is all screwed up, so most heavy lifting that can't be carefully balanced is up to me -- sheer adrenaline people....anyway. I'm tired. I've taken a break and eaten, but now I'm back to doing something productive. Surely -- there must be something one can do when half asleep!

The Decision

Alright, some of you have been asking what the decision was. Here it goes. I found out a week ago that I was not given an assistanceship to go to grad school. To make a long story short, that means that I would have to pay for graduate school out of pocket, instead of being free. Anyway. After a week of thinking, and praying, and weighing my options, I have decided not to go to grad school this coming year. I'm going to go work in California at least until Christmas. I can try to get an assistanceship through another department for the spring, or at the least I can return in the fall when I'll probably have an assistanceship through the music school -- lots of them will be up by then. So, I'm moving to California....and I hate moving! It will be good for me...but its been a stressful week...

I hate packing! It's such a mess!

It's amazing -- you go through stress, the stress ends, and then your face breaks out -- proclaiming to the world what a hard week you've had!

Decision made.

Making big decisions right now...........will blog soon.......
