travel accomplished
May. 27th, 2007 05:27 pmSo I'm settled in across the country for the summer now -- a terrifying concept that I haven't let sink in yet -- and so far so good. :) My roommate gets here in a week or two; her amazing parents left all sorts of good stuff in the kitchen. I've got my clothes unpacked -- kinda wrinkly but I figure I can throw them in our dryer (which isn't four flights of stairs down, unlike certain other washer/dryers I could mention) and that'll help. We've got internet technology, clearly, and I've hooked up my music, so it feels just like home. :p
I was up all last night packing and panicking and making one last 4am South Street Diner trip, and then napped intermittently in the cab/in the airport/on the plane, so I think my sleep schedule is thoroughly screwed up enough that if I don't think about the jet lag there won't be any.
Seattle is (predictably) rainy and a little chilly, but nice. My apartment building's surrounded by trees (and, um, other apartments in the complex), we have a little covered porch where I have designs to sit with a guitar (which I must obtain -- something acoustic off craigslist, maybe an old twelve-string if I am feeling super extravagant or see a really good deal -- I'm telling myself whatever I get I'll resell in August, but I have a sneaking feeling I'm going to want to bring whatever it is home) and whittle away summer evenings, or something like that.
Also, I have three days to figure out how to get to work, so that'll be interesting.
Pictures forthcoming -- I brought my camera in carry-on but shipped the transfer cord, so I can't yet. And now I think I'm going to settle in with tea and a C# book and an afternoon nap before I try to figure out how to get to the grocery store.
