today is the day

today is the big day: lease signing day.

i can't believe that i only met carly (my new roommate) two days ago. this is all moving very fast. but i guess anything is better than moving home!

i'm trying to rationalize this split decision, mostly because i don't normally make decisions this quickly, and my horoscope yesterday was particularly omnious:

A money matter may demand your immediate attention but the planets warn if you act too quickly it may not work out to your benefit. Usually you are cautious by nature but every now and again you are inclined to go right the other way and take silly risks. This is one of those times — don’t say you haven’t been warned.

so...i'm a little nervous about today. i like carly and i like the apartment, but i wish it was a little closer to matt. now i live just far enough away that if i'm at his apartment, i don't want to make the effort to walk back to my own place. i think this place is just as far. it's 4.5 long blocks and 11 short blocks away! i guess a little distance will be good. And the worst that can happen is that i save on rent for a year and then move out, either with him or closer to him. although i am very loathe to apartment hunt again. even a year from now! searching for an apartment and moving just sucks.

after all the lease stuff is out of the way, i'm going to have to buckle down with the moving stuff...i'm sure it will be a disaster as always. i'm going to take pretty much everything that's in my apartment now. i don't know if the armoire will make it! but i'll try. i wonder if it will fit through the door. i also had the idea to use the kitchen table as a desk in my room because the bedroom might be big enough for that and the kitchen really isn't, and carly said she had a small table.

i could hardly sleep (again) last night. i've been up since like 6:30. just tossing adn turning and planning out the apartment and what it's going to look like, and what will be able to fit, and how i'll be able to pack all my stuff up. ahhhhhh!

i'm going to go relax for a few minutes, then head over to the realtor... wish me luck!
