Ugh... I missed boot camp last week because I had an early meeting on Monday and I had to take my parent's to the airport on Wednesday. Today hurt. It was gorgeous day at least. I got to wear my new work out clothes too. My old ones are way too baggy. Fun times. My exercise isn't done yet though; I still have a softball game from 2-4. We won at softball. Woo, go us! I met a lot of really cool new people too. Today hardly felt like work at all. Probably because I only did about 2 hours of it. I'll make it up tonight though to some degree.
Tomorrow is wally ball, and with the 3 hot PMs no less. I'm just finding new activities left and right, making new friends (and soon I'll be chilling with old ones), continuing to get into shape... And there's no end in sight. Not 6 months, not a year, not 4 years... I'm making my life into what I want it to be, and the sense of permanency that I feel makes every gain so much more rewarding. I was worried for a lot of the last year that college was going to be the best time of my life, but I'm seeing now that that's not necessarily true.
I get to go apartment shopping this weekend. Initially, finding out that my apartment was raising my rent (by $140/month no less) kinda pissed me off, but now I'm feeling kind of good about it. It's an opportunity to look around and see if I can find something better. And if I don't feel like moving, it'll be an opportunity to improve my bargaining skills by getting management to not raise my rent so much. My sister and I have never been very good negotiators, but my parents are real ballers when it comes to that kind of thing. They inspire me to be more of a badass in that respect. So I'll go find some nicer places, closer to work, that charge less rent and I go back and say, "What will you give me to stay here?".
One week from today and I'll finally have some company. It's going to be a great summer. That means I need to rearrange my apartment this weekend. Or maybe I'll just do it next weekend when I can conscript some help... bwahaha... But either way, good times ahead.
I've set up a morale event to go see Iron Man tonight. Hopefully I'll get some takers. The movie was good. I think I'm being promoted to team social organizer. Go me.
