Salvation Army is coming to pick up my horrible old desk next week. (In the mean time the metal-monster is blocked both my doorway and the doorway to the third bedroom. A fire hazard for someone less limber than I.) I have replaced it with a really simple table-desk that I purchased on Craigslist from a graduated Georgetown Law student for $30. No more drawers so I will be forced to get rid of stuff I don’t really need, and sort the stuff I do.

Unpacking is going very very slowly, but it’s going. I finally brought my bike back from Ma and Papi’s house. I have ordered a floor pump and a rear rack for it. Now I just need something to put on the rack. A crate? A pannier? I’ll figure it out. For now it will just be a nice place to strap my U-lock onto.

I have been trying to plan out my summer because I find it tremendously calming to have everything scheduled. Things to look forward to. Everything is more manageable in chunks. If all goes well I will be able to fit in class, Chicago, New England and California (three uncles and two friends!). Even if I don’t fit in everything, my expectations for the new few months will probably be exceeded. Time won’t drag on forever. I will learn to relax instead of feeling bored and anxious when I have nothing to do.

Anyway. Next time I post hopefully I’ll have something more interesting (blogworthy?) to say
