All Settled In

I finally moved in to my new apartment last weekend. My mom and I drove down together on Friday morning and it took us about 15 hours to get to South Bend. It was a long, long drive and we were very happy when we arrived. While I had packed my car full to the brim, I didn't have any furniture with me except a small bookcase. My mom and I slept on the floor both Friday and Saturday night, and on Sunday we opted to buy an air mattress since I wasn't having any luck finding a regular bed. I think we went to about a hundred garage sales over the weekend and I now have a pretty cool place. We got all the furniture that I absolutely needed, and we also found some cool stuff for my kitchen, not to mention an extremely awesome bicycle.

My mom left Monday night and this has been my first day alone in the apartment. It hasn't been that exciting, I must say, but I did get down the the school and I got registered for classes and figured out some financial aid stuff. I'm having a bit of a dilemma now, however, because I don't know if I can afford to keep my cat. I got the forms today that I need to fill out in order to keep him, and there are a lot of stipulations that need to be fulfilled in order to have a pet. I'm going to try to decide tonight if I will keep him, otherwise I think I will bring him to an adoption shelter that I found in South Bend.

Hopefully I will get some pictures up in the near future. My mom took some while she was here and she should be sending them to me soon, so I will post them as soon as I can. Until next time, ciao.
