10 things of mutterings

1. tree to tree adventures (an outdoor obstacle course) was one of the best things i've ever done in my whole life. i wish i knew 10 years ago that i really enjoy this sort of stuff!
2. and now i have a renewed motivation to go rock climbing again, regardless of joint pain
3. i'm either incredibly patient or too tired to deal with the apt office
4. i dislike when the doctor tells me "you spend too much time in front of the computer". lady, it's my JOB.
5. a bit frustrated that my initial request to take classes (and expense to the company) was turned down due to miscommunication. i would be done by now otherwise...
6. internet was cheaper with cable. must... resist... mindless... tv... nights...
7. that said... internet is slower for me now =(
8. social laziness is unhealthy but i am hesitant to break the shell
9. back to perfecting the art of looking busy at work... sigh
10. this summer is gonna be over in a blink of an eye

ah. now that the move is over with... back to somewhat normal life

some lessons learned:
- call movers. period
- figure out at least 2 routes between your apt and where the truck could park
- always view the unit before signing the lease
- kitchens must have room for dishes, cups, pans, and food
- my stuff indicates i need to downsize or always rent larger units
- no more coke after 7pm because it keeps me up
