As of tomorrow I will be leaving for LA in exactly 2 WEEKS. I am devastatingly excited about living somewhere other than Maryland, and LA holds so much promise in being very...un-Marylandish. A place where I might not see cows on a regular basis. At least, not intentionally.
Granted I'm going to miss (and am already missing) some of the incredible friends I've made in Maryland - along with my beautiful boyfriend - but it'll only be a matter of time before I see most of them again (hint: EVERYBODY BETTER BE AT THE THANKSGIVING HOME GAME THANK YOU). What I'm most excited about for this next part of my life, though, is the fact that I'm doing it all on my own. My own place, my own money, blah blah blah. I'll be forced to do everything myself, and I won't have anyone within about 100 miles to help me. That may not sound exciting, but by-golly I'm pumped out of my freakin' mind.
Until I leave, I've been creating a mental checklist of everything I'll need to do when I get there:
- Build a fire (HA...sike. No, but for serious)
- Grab a cab and lug my 2 suitcases - full of the only items I'll have to my name - to my apartment in the north part of Koreatown (Du Barry Apartments HOLLER).
- Check in, get my keys, complete move-in inspection schpeal.
- Breathe. I just moved in to my own apartment. I no longer live in Maryland. Holy crap.
- Go in search of a bike. Buy a bike. Figure how to get said bike onto tiny-ass elevator in apartments.
- Go in search of food.
- Put away clothes and inflate bed.
- Make half-ass attempt to assemble bed sheets and end-up passing out because it's been a long day and BABY I'M HOME.

to get a bike in a regular elevator:
1) try to put it in straight until the back wheel gets stuck in the door
2) try to look cool making the bike vertical
3) give up and buy a unicycle.
- I ride a uni, its fun.
The dont have a rack you attach it to in/next to the building?

Heh - well take a regular elevator and divide it by 4...and that's the size of my apartment elevator. Unfortunately there's no bike rack :(.
And I don't try to look cool making bikes vertical. I succeed.
