Weekend updates
Sun, May. 11th, 2008 05:02 pmDespite actually accomplishing a good deal this weekend (finishing the knitting on
umadoshi's tatami kimono, applying for a visa for Taiwan, taking Ren to the vet, assorted other errands), I feel like I have not done much. The tatami kimono is now blocking, Ren has antibiotics though I am still worried because he is now an elder rat, the visa is out of my hands for the moment, and it makes no sense to pack for Taiwan yet.
Still, there's a lot to do, first and foremost being finding an apartment for school. GAH. Future Roommate is coming down in the middle of the week, and though I can look for places online now, the bulk of it will be done on Friday. My last day at work is next week, and there will be paper work for assorted things. And then Wiscon, and then two months in Taiwan. No wonder I've been feeling incredibly unsettled. I suspect I won't start to feel better until school actually starts and I have a routine again, and even then, it'll be odd being in a different city, with a roommate, with a completely different schedule. Still, at least it will be a schedule, as opposed to the current plan of: fly to Madison, fly to Taiwan, fly to New York, MOVE.
Add extra paranoia for rat health while I am out of the country for two months, get instant freak out!
On the plus side, even though I got to the farmers' market very late, I still got peas! Also! My pea guy is back! Apparently he couldn't bring things over because of a bad shoulder. I sadly didn't get any peas from him this week, since I had already gotten a ton, but there will be next week, now that I know he's back.

Mon, May. 12th, 2008 09:48 pm (UTC)The future roommate is an old classmate of my sister's, so we sort of know each other, but not very well.
Me: Do you think we'll get along?
My sister: You're both giant nerds who will go off and do your own thing. (pause) Yeah, I think you'll be fine.
Plus, she has Takarazuka DVDs and is planning on learning Korean!
