moving madness

what a week this has been! i thought i'd get to relax since i was done with summer school, but nooooooo!!

monday~
finished project. did nothing rest of the day.

tuesday~
megan came down. we had grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch with david. work in the afternoon. office politics are horrible! you think you know some people after working with them two days a week for two years, but nope. apparently our new boss is shaking things up. one lower-boss really doesn't like her at all and the other is welcoming her with open arms. then volleyball! classic tuesday night. a few of us went to steak-n-shake afterwards. mmmhmmm.

wednesday~
this time for lunch, we raided katrina's fridge. megan made some chicken salad. david brought some food too and will said it was like a potluck. i had a pizza party for the end of my class and when i got back there's a really, um, interesting story about megan's car, but i'll let her tell that one. i didn't know where anyone was so i took a short nap then started cleaning my room. awhile later, i got an im from lucas knapp. not luke, but lucas (the one from bloomington). he offers to pay me $300 to help him move to aurora the next day. i was like, "forget work! i'm helping you!"

thursday~
i got up early to help lucas move. we left at nine and didn't get up there until 12:30. traffic around aurora is terrible! lucas had to sign the lease first and then he filled out his deposit wrong, so he had to find a bank. we didn't start unloading the uhaul until 2pm. unfortunately, his new place is on the second floor so we had to carry everything (couch, futon, dresser, two good chairs, kitchen table, boxes, etc.) up the stairs. nice workout. we set up the computer first and put on some techno to keep our energy going. the enterprise people came and picked lucas up so i unloaded the last of it myself. then we took back the uhaul to a local dealer place. since my clothes were soaked with sweat, i borrowed some trunks and we went swimming in his pool while the clothes were in the washing machine. we went across the street to get some food and accessories. then we unpacked the kitchen stuff and i made mac-n-cheese with hot dogs for dinner while lucas unpacked other boxes. my clothes were clean and dry and dinner was in my belly so i was ready to head home! lucas paid me the $300 and had me sign a sheet so he would get reimbursed for it. since i recently came into such money and i was hungry for a dairy queen blizzard, i took the first two people i saw at gabe's (will and megan) out to dairy queen on my dollar.

friday~
for lunch today, will, megan and i went to zorba's and had gyros. mmhmm, good. a few hours of work (i got promoted! i get to be administrator for the mcat because upper-boss is hiring some new staff for proctoring) and then i bought five t-shirts. i realized that i'm going into my xth year at illinois and i only have one illinois shirt and it's got stains on it. so all five have illinois or chief on them. later, megan, will, katrina and i went out to eat at cheddar's. took a nap, cleaned my room some more and now i'm writing this.

saturday~
it's the future right now, sure. my parents and neal are coming down to help me clean and fix up everything in the apartment. paint and spackle and clean some more. i'm going to move some stuff over to apartment two tomorrow including my loft and entertainment center.

i realize that i started most days with lunch, but that's because i start most days with lunch. it's summer, that's just what you do when you don't work full-time. now i have to wait until my sheets dry before i can go to bed, which means many games of solitaire.
