Well we thought this would all be over by today, but yesterday we made it just a bit more interesting. While we were at work, they decided that they would move us into ANOTHER new apartment. At first, we were like, seriously? We just want to stay in on place! However, the new apartment is nicer and bigger (3 bedrooms) at no extra cost, so we decided to go ahead with it. Since we now have an extra room, we drew numbers to see who would get their own room. For once, luck was on my side and I actually got my own room!
We then spent three hours moving, running up/down stairs trying keys, etc. We now have 12 sets of keys (4 for each apt)! It's hard to keep them all straight! We got everything moved and somewhat unpacked and around 8 pm, we realized that a) we were starving and b) we had no dishes. So we decided to just order pizza. Best decision we ever made! We got 2 larges and ate almost all of it because we were starving! I was happy bc one of my roommates likes thin crust pepporoni from pizza hut, so i got my favorite pizza. As we scarfed down dinner, we commented on how much bonding this experience has provided. We are all getting to know each other well. I'll write about them at a later time.
Because we didn't want to stay in the smoky apartment, we were going to just sleep on the floor in our new apt. However, we quickly realized that wasn't an option because the carpets had been cleaned and they weren't dry. So, trying to problem solve, I realized that a couple of interns had extra beds in their apts. So I made some phone calls and found couches/extra beds for us to crash on for just one night. One girl was nice enough to let Jackie and I stay with her so we at least got *some* sleep. Not great sleep, but some.
We are supposed to get furniture, cable, and dishes today. I sent an email telling them what we need, so ideally, it will be done by 5. Oh, and I forgot one thing. In this whole process, the furniture movers removed our furniture from apt #1 (bug apt) and threw them all on the floor. Smart move, movers. So now they are washing all of our clothes and I told them this must be done by 5 (it has all my underwear except for a few pairs i had in a suitcase!). We'll see how that goes.
Aside from the apt thing, we started work yesterday. It was a rather mundane day of orientation and training, but I'm still really excited about this summer. They have so many activities planned for us and the interns in my dept are all cool. We're all getting to know each other well. Training is a bit slow/boring, but not excruciatingly so. They are giving us free lunch/pop etc, so that's a nice perk. I just have to watch how many bottles of Diet. Dr. Pepper I drink... haha.
Over all, I think this week is going to be down hill from here. We only have a half day on friday (yay!) and we hope to do something fun this weekend. I plan to go look for a bike and start working out this weekend, and then hopefully I can develop a routine. I also hope to post pics of the new, bug free apt as soon as its ready! :)
