Last night was officially my first night in the new apartment. It's weird to have all your stuff in a new place. It took a while for me to believe that I lived here. The first day I just kind of walked around the apartment and took it all in. It's a pretty sweet place and we got pretty lucky that we found it for that price in Manhattan. We both have never had to live with someone else or had the dorm experience so it should be interesting.
For the first few days I was sleeping on the couch since none of my furniture was here. I've been away from all my things and have hardly had a chance to sit down. It's been nice not to be able to sit at the computer all night doing things that, in essence, are a giant misuse of time. That means, minimal facebooking, youtubing, blogging, googling, movie watching. I did realize though just how much we rely on technology. We don't have Internet yet and the unsecured connection in the area is pretty unreliable. It's so frustrating not having the ability to look something up instantly. We're so used to instant. It's horrible. I have pictures to upload, reservations to make, and things to research and I can't get on the damn world wide web. I'm typing this on my blackberry---it's no fun. This did give me the opportunity to finally get serious about learning to play the piano since my keyboard was the only thing that was here. In 4 days I've made some real progress and I'm almost sorry that we're officially going to have internet and tv as of Tuesday.
I am excited about the new start. Hopefully I successfully got rid of all things that were bad for me and now I can start over. But, who knows with me. I have a bad habit of being attracted to those things that aren't good for me and bad things have a way of finding me.
Let the adventure begin...
