Anybody want to give me a couch?

Things seem to move fast for me. I found and started a job in a week. Last Saturday I found an apartment and now I'm moving this Saturday. I'm super excited. Except I focused so much on paying for rent and utilities, I forgot to factor in other expenses. Like furniture. I think it's going to be me and my bed and a bookcase for a while. No kidding. I have no couch or table or chairs. I went up to the attic tonight and discovered that my brother and sister took all my kitchen stuff with them to college. Perfect. There's something to be said for being young and poor though. In five years, hopefully I can look back and say "Remember that time I lived in an apartment without furniture? Yeah. That was crazy." At least the move on Saturday won't be too bad because I don't have much to move.

My new home:

Highs: making some friends at UNT to hang out with in Denton/Lewisville and getting to know some of my students better
Lows: realizing that I can't afford to pay for cable or dvr :(, being late for work because I had to defrost my car this morning (I don't know how it got that cold the night before)

One month later

So remember those last two years of college when I was stressing about what to do after graduation and what career path God had for me? Yeah, that seems so silly now. For all the time I spent worrying and talking with equally confused friends about the future, my life since graduation has all fallen neatly in to place. The transition has been easier than I thought. I love my job. I enjoy going to work. I feel fulfilled. That is all I ever wanted. I realize that I've only been working for 5 weeks, and this is definitely just a year-or-two job, but I have a good feeling about it. I love my students, I'm never bored, and I have a job with a natural penchant for comedic situations. Perfect.

I am ready to move out of my parent's house though. Besides the hour-long commute, there isn't anything I dislike about living at home. It's just time to move on. I need to start up my life again, make new friends, find a church, get involved in the community somehow. Dating would be good too. When I am at home, I am lazy and feel no motivation to do those things. I'm too comfortable. I'm looking for a roommate, but no luck so far. If you know of anybody, send her my way!
