Goodbye, Hello, Goodbye

Big things happened today, folks! I said GOODBYE to the Branbury. No more living in "rape-ville" any longer! It is so bitter sweet though. I lived there for 2 years and lived through so much of my college life during that time. Lots of roommates, friends, and challenges. It's weird to think about life before the bran. But believe me it was definitely time to move, change things up and start fresh. 

Here are some things I WON'T miss about the bran:

• my squeaky bed
• the location of my bedroom (stairwell light, noisy loud door, and the living room)
• the stupid drawer in my closet that would fall off the track EVERY time I opened it
• the moldy bathroom (RIP betsy and her children)
• hitting the pothole at the light on Riverside Ave
• driving to school
• my ward.
• the gross heater vent in the hall that was always so dusty
• having to pay for and carry my laundry
• management
• the overall ghetto-ness of the whole place
• having nowhere to do homework except my bed

Things I WILL miss:

• my big bed
• Apt 312
• Sharon
• close drive to work
• walking to football games

.... obviously the bad was outweighing the good. So, in turn I said HELLO to the Village at South Campus. It is brand new student housing and I'm the first person to occupy my bedroom!

Some things I already love:

• Washer and dryer in the unit
• Big flat screen TV and free cable
• Underground, assigned parking
• 5 minute walk to campus
• Savanah being my roommate
• all of my friends literally surrounding me on every direction within one block
• Valet garbage take-out (NOW we are talking!)
• way more social

It is my first night in my new bed (back in a twin) and I never thought this day would come. Although packing and unpacking and cleaning all day wore the crap out of me. I was so busy that the only thing I had to eat today was a large diet coke from Mcdonalds and I didn't even realize it till about 10 pm. And it also left me looking like I was mauled by a bear! I have bruises, scratches and scrapes all over my arms and legs and not to mention a huge blood blister on my hand.. But it is such a relief to have that done! I'm so excited for what the next couple months have in store! 

And now I'm saying GOODBYE to you, and my new house as I leave for South Carolina for Sharon's wedding!! So excited! I heart airplanes! and weddings! :) I'm sure I'll have tons of pics to post next time!

P.S. After 28 months, I get to see Christopher on sunday after I get home! To say I'm excited would be an understatement. :)
