Well...I'm officially moved to Florida. We left Monday morning after packing the trailer and got out about 9am. It was about 32 hours of driving split between my dad and myself, but we finally got to my apartment around 4:30 on Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately, both of my roommates are out of town..so I had to go harass the maintenance guys for another key to get in. Unloaded the trailer and truck in record time! I've finally unpacked nearly all of the boxes (I have a bunch of textbooks that I brought with me that are still boxed up until we get another bookshelf. I feel pretty bad, 'cause there was a bunch of stuff that I didn't bring with me, and obviously that I couldn't bring so I ended up having to buy quite a bit to flesh-out the place, and my dad pretty much bought it all since I haven't worked in over a month and still have 9 days until I get my first disbursement for my loans. (Good news there, I JUST found out today that I actually got all of my loans, it took for fucking EVER!). Its wonderful having my bed back, cause its fucking amazing! It got scratched a bunch on the trip though so I need to do some touch-up staining on it...later...
One of my roommates gets back in town Wednesday or so, the other one doesn't get back 'till a week from Monday. I couldn't get Comcast to come install my internet until the 26th, and the satellite guys won't install until I have that...so DVDs and spotty stolen wireless for a week. I tried to goto rugby practice Thursday evening, but I couldn't find the team, I think the info on their website or my e-mail from them was wrong...hopefully they get back to me before Tuesday so I can practice then. On that note, before I left Colorado I got to play in a big rugby tournament in Steamboat Springs. I had a fucking AWESOME time! I only got to play for about 20 min between two games, and the ball still never came near me...but I still had fun! Monday I'm gonna start going to the gym again, doing cardio and weight lifting. I'm sure that once school gets stressful, it'll be the first thing to go, but I'd like to try and go every day I don't have rugby practice during the week (so MWF).
I have to say...I REALLY don't like Florida so far! Its hot, humid, the people are crazy and annoying. I also don't know where anything is, don't have any real friends around, and I'm over 2000 miles from my family for the first time in my life...which is kinda freaking me out. I'm sure once school starts I'll be too distracted to notice and I'll likely get over it fast...but right now, its a bit of a drag! I have found some good food though! There is a great pub right across the street from where all my classes are. I went there for dinner last night with my dad and they have a GREAT selection of beer, good traditional pub food (including bangers and mash!!) and Setanta on the TV to watch rugby! I have a feeling I'll be spending WAY too much time there!
I also found a HUGE mall with some really great shops and a nice theater (although its RIDICULOUSLY crowded!!) I saw the Dark Knight there last night with some people I know, and it was just as good as thought it would be! It makes me pretty sad that Heath Ledger died though. Its not that I didn't care before, I mean I've generally liked his acting and enjoyed his movies, but he was phenomenal as the Joker and I know I won't get to see anymore. I'm sure the movie producers are pretty pissed off too that they killed off the other bad guy in the movie when he was the actor they could re-use!
So yes..this is my life now...and it sorta sucks...but hopefully will get MUCH better soon...hopefully...
