Coffee is wonderful.

Right now I am sitting at my new desk, under my new bed, watching a movie, and drinking coffee from my Peter Pan mug, in my new apartment.
Life. Is. Good.
Finally got all moved in. All the boxes and bags are unpacked and my clothes and my junk are all in their respective places in my cube (aka my room). Disney themed of course. All I think that's left is to put up my Princess and the Frog and Toy Story 3 movie posters.
I am so excited to start this new adventure!

All my bags are packed..well..almost...

Almost...done...finish line...is in view.
Whew. Whirlwind.
Got most of my stuff moved to school last week Monday. (Shoutout to the parents for all the help!) BIG RELIEF, plus, my room is baller status!
Last Wednesday had the wisdom teeth extracted. Pain has been a daily occurrence ever since.
Working again this Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Then Wednesday it's the permanent move to school, YAHOO!

3 Boxes and 5 Rubbermaid Tubs

I. Hate. Packing.
I hate packing for trips. Most people love it because it means they are going somewhere on a vacation or someplace fun. Well I pack almost every other weekend going to visit my boyfriend, so the "fun" aspect has been sucked out of that packing experience.
I hated packing to move to Florida. It was scary and I didn't know what to bring. There goes that.
Now I am packing to move to school. Ugh. I am going to be living with 3 other girls (not an issue surprisingly), but I have no idea what is already in the apartment or what everyone else is bringing basically when it comes to dishes and such. So my solution is to move my stuff in over a week before anyone else to make sure my ridiculous collection of Disney dishes gets a place in the cupboards.
I am also a self-proclaimed "procrastinator packer". I like to leave things until the night before and then stay up all night to make sure everything got put into it's respective bag/box/suitcase. So I thought I would get ahead of the game and stop work two weeks before I move so I don't have to rush my life into boxes. This was a bad idea, however, because now I feel I am taking far too much stuff. Bleck. At least home is only an hour and a half away from school, so I can basically transport whatever, whenever. Convenient, especially when I feel like mom's cooking...yummy. I just cannot wait to put all of it in the truck and move it into the apartment.
Successes for the day:
-All my picture frames now have updated pictures from the last 6 months in them. Score.
-I went through my t-shirts (almost all 80 of them) and picked out a very minimal amount of them to take to school, along with sweatpants, pj pants, sweatshirts and long-sleeve t-shirts and jeans. Oh, and athletic shorts. One rubbermaid tub down.
-I took down my Disney art (tear, because now my one wall is naked) and boxed up the things I am using for living room decor.
List of things to do still:
-Pack up sheets, blankets, etc.
-Bathroom stuff.
-Storage drawer with tank tops and nice t-shirts.
-Hanging clothes.
Most of that will be the week after, on the 18th, when I move up there for good.
A trip to Bed, Bath, and Beyond is also needed (Thursday).
Ugh. Thank goodness TLC has had a 19 Kids and Counting marathon on today...
