I forgot how getting settled into a new home can be exciting but also at the same time, exhausting! But for what it's worth, all the cleaning and organizing paid off, I love my room (even though it's a bit cramped what with my big bed and all), but most especially, I love my washroom!!! It'll take some getting used to though... the long but sometimes short bus/train rides to school and everywhere else, and my neighbours, whom I haven't seen yet! Like actually. I'm starting to wonder if anyone actually lives around here. Yeah there's cars parked in the driveways, but I've actually never seen anyone drive out or come out of their houses or anything like that. It's like a ghost town here in my neighbourhood. BUT... I'm giving them time to reveal themselves.
I remember when I moved to what is now my old house... most of my fellow cul-de-sac neighbours came by with casseroles and introduced themselves to us. I couldn't believe it! I thought it was only in movies!!! But nope, I was experiencing the feeling of being greeted by people I have come to know (and babysit) over the last few years, firsthand, and of course, I felt cool... given that I was still in elementary school at the time, so obviously I would think that! But now it's like, where's the casseroles and the introductions!?! I'm beginning to think that my old neighbours spoiled me. But I'll wait and see during Halloween, see if anyone's going to hand out candy in this neighbourhood. Not that I'm actually gonna go around knocking on doors on Halloween asking for candy, I wish! Those were the good ol' days...
So even though I feel like I got most of my stuff put away in the right places and everything, I still feel like somethings missing. My pictures! I've been saying for over a year now that I'll get a bunch of pictures printed out and put in frames...blah blah blahhh, but I've never gotten around to it. I mean, yeah, last summer I did print out a lot of pictures which in total cost me about $50 to $80, though I can't really remember, but I never put them up in frames, I just shoved them in an album for no one to see but me... which is great for days when I feel like reminiscing. But framing up pictures makes such a big difference because it's right there for me to look at whenever and for everyone else to see too, instead of always having to dig up them albums buried under a bunch of heavy school binders filled with trees.
Ok, so that's one major thing I have to do, and there's a bunch more I'd like to type down right now, but seeing as how it's already 3 in the morning and my brain is slowly shutting down on me (which is good, because I wanted to sleep earlier, but I couldn't!)... so yeah, whatever floats my boat right? And right now, that would be sleep.
Cheers
