...drinking espresso

It is moving day! And my last day at The Cup.
I am so excited about both of those things, except they scheduled me for a much longer shift than usual at The Cup, so I am working 8-9 hours tonight. And I still have my room to pack and move before hand. I have to do it today because I need to be out Friday, and Justin and I are leaving for PTC tonight and the Casino Saturday. (glamorous life haha)

Now I have to try to move things without getting too sweaty and trying to do it all before work.
So that means I have until 1:30.
When I moved out of Dempsey, it took all day. All day. I stopped between every other load. I think I was prolonging the time that I could be in there. I did not want to leave because Dempsey is mine. I have been ready to get out of Phase 2 since I moved in...and to think this is the dorm that all the residents want. hmm. Maybe I am spoiled, being an RA, or maybe I am just used to simple, older, more worn out things and phase 2 is so new and filled with so many small rooms and roommates.

Now I am moving to Schmidt. Yep, the old dorms. I dunno if I shared the news, but I suppose my blog is a better place than any...but I got a new job! I will be an RA with Education First. Now...I would like to make a disclaimer. Honestly, I am terrified that people are going to think that I only got the job and was only interested because Justin is working for them. While that is super exciting and I am so glad I get to keep him for the next year, it is not true. Ah, I just want everyone to see I am a big girl, capable of getting things on my own. :) And we applied for positions independently, I think I actually heard about mine from Danny first (but really only minutes before). So tada, I got the job all by myself, look at me parade around in my big girl pants! :) haha. Maybe I do not give people enough credit, and assume that they will assume that I got it through him. Or maybe I do not give myself enough credit, and think that people will not recognize that I am capable to get things on my own.

But I will admit the two things I am most excited about (at least right now) is my new room and that Justin will be here working with me! Chad is going to be my suitemate and we are living in the RA apartment in Schmidt. The little hut off the the side is all ours! I think it is adorable. It is old, has two big glass doors, and a lot of potential. Plus, since there is not much furniture other than beds, dressers, and desks, we have 2 more empty rooms and the kitchen to figure out (atleast they are not that big!) but figuring it out makes me feel so grown up!
The light fixtures are old and I think they are adorable, mine looks like a flower!
I did give up the 4th floor RA suite in NoMag, which is arguably the best room on all of campus (in my opinion) plus it is in my family, but for the opportunity (which is a great one!) and the sense that I am a grown up buying my own thrifted and gifted furniture, I will take it!

Plus, Chad and I went looking for stuff as soon as we accepted the job. We did not find any furniture, but got an espresso machine for $12! So if anything, we will live in empty rooms drinking lattes with Tatiana and Justin. I think that alone makes for a wonderful senior year.
