Overslept, but then again, I was up plenty late last night. I hope I don't oversleep in the next 2 months.
As I said, the only snafu last night was the futon not unfolding. Otherwise everything else has been pretty nice up here.
Living by myself these past few weeks (my sis and BIL were vacationing in the the Philippines) has made me realize how much I enjoyed being independent, having my own place to stay. Being here in my friend's condo is making it even more apparent. Aside from the usual headaches of owning your own place (rent, upkeep, utilites, etc), that feeling of independence you get is well worth the price - "a man's home is his castle" is definitely true.
It's peaceful up here. The weather has been very nice and cool. Chris's place has lots of windows and the rooms get really good light, which makes me happy. It's a 3 story condo so I get a very cool elevated view of the street below. Him and his wife Allison have similar tastes as I do (we were all friends in college), so I feel very at home in their condo. There's plenty of eccentricities around this place: books, instruments, electronics, artwork, and lots of gadgets that I need to familiarize myself with (especially their fancy coffee maker), but that's what makes this place fun.
It's a little lonely being here on my own, but never sad. I've been doing lots of remembering, random rehashing of good times in the past few years. Lots of speculation of the near future as well (Step 2, Residency Applications, Interviews, Matching, the "single"ness ). It can get distressing at times, but I think it's a potent impetus for me to get my things in order for now. It also makes me feel busy so I'm not bored.
I'll go food shopping today and later on, take a drive to the hospital that I'll be working in tomorrow so I can better orient myself. For now, It's study time, coffee, and Miles.
