We are spending our first night in our apartment tonight. Everyone is very excited but very tired. Imagine furnishing a whole apartment with assemble-yourself furniture.. I've got allen keys turning in front of my eyes as I sleep. The place looks great and the view is amazing. Fantastic. The best part of course is that I have actually TOTALLY unpacked my bag for the first time since July 17 2005. Eww I know. Hehe. There wasn't anywhere for me to unpack in India so I lived out of my case for 6 months, came home, shared a room with Mels for a bit (so didn't unpack) then knew that I was taking this job so didn't bother getting totally unpacked (although I did empty half the stuff out, all the Indian garb). It's been a long time coming and it feels so good! Who knows for how long though.. I'll just enjoy the feeling while it lasts eh?
Been going through all the memorabilia choved in the crevises of my bag and have come to the conclusion that I am a sentimental schmuck. My Dad would call it being a "hoarder", but I call it being sentimental :) Sounds nicer. I have ticket stubs from watching Ice Age 2 in the US, tissues that Melanie gave to her Mum and I when she left for Melbourne the first time (a week after I got home from India, boo!), an anti-bacterial wipes travel pack that someone gave me as a gift before I left for India (it still has 1 wipe left just so I can actually have a reason to keep it), some scrunched up pictures that the girls at Hebron, a little drawing that my niece drew for me when I left Perth this last time, a card from each of my closest friends, my journal from 2004, a "best friend" teddy from my friend Komal in Vijaywada, many spare earplug sets (random fact: I have a really bad habit of sleeping with earplugs and a sleeping mask every night so I have total darkness and silence.. I realise one day I will have to share a bed with someone so am trying to ween myself off them slowly.. one earplug at a time! haha), lolly wrappers from stuff that my Mum sent over to me in India and much more.. no wonder my bag was twice the weight I was supposed to have!!
Ahh, it feels nice to be settled for a bit. No hotels, holiday apartments, friend's houses etc. My own bed that Amy helped me to assemble. Hehe, no surprises if I crash through the slats during the night! We kinda had a few screws left over..
Ok, now it's waffling: goodnight peoples! Will post photos tomorrow. Peace out..
