Movin’ In
It’s my third day in the new apartment and I’m absolutely lovin’ it. Somehow, the new place feels oddly familiar for a space I just moved into.
House Mates
I love the people I’m living with. Jaeyoung seems like a pretty high maintenance person who shares the same pet peeves as me, so I’m okay with that. I feel as if the connotation that goes along with being a high maintenance is always so negative, but it’s totally not a bad thing at all! I feel like high maintenance people usually set pretty clear rules, so I don’t have to go out of my way to see what pushes their buttons. And we share common interests too, so that’s another plus! She seems really cool!
As for Anna, I’ve lived with her before, and she’s still so considerate and self-sacrificing. I have to treat her to something one day. I just like her that much. She literally is the most understanding person I know. Just so chill.
Tran seems to have kept the same bad habits, but I don’t seem to mind it as much anymore. Especially when I hear about how Jaeyoung and Laura have reacted to it. I just think that Tran goes out a lot, because she’s more involved with Klesis now, and because of that, she doesn’t take time to prioritize house-keeping.
Laura seems very capable of living by herself. She’s been taking care of the finances and has been cooking meals for herself too. So impressed. And her boyfriend, Ryo, is here for one-two more weeks, and is really nice! He’s a bit older than us, like a year or two older, and even brought stuff from Canada for us, which was so thoughtful of him to do! I get to happy seeing them together.
Thoughts & Feelings
I don’t like being at home alone. It feels so lonely with just me in the space. I like it when at least another person is in the room with me. But apparently, home is usually pretty empty. Maybe I’ll just invite friends over or something. I’m such a home body.
It’s hard to exercise in my apartment since I’m trying to be mindful of all the noise they face downstairs because of it. I am able to control the impact of my weight underneath my feet as I exercise, but it takes more effort. But still, it’s do-able! I don’t feel like it’s a chore to exercise anymore! I see it more as a challenge!
Cooking-wise, I’ve done nothing to sustain myself. I’m so glad my mom cooked meals before hand and froze them for my connivence. What would I have done without her home-cooked meals! She’s the best! And my dad too, for thinking of all these things I would need in my new apartment life. I can cook, but I just don’t like to do so. It eats up so much time.
Chores. I love doing them - I always have. Unless if it’s folding clothes, then count me out. I just started rolling my clothes. I’ve been meaning to take out the trash and all, but I don’t know where or how to do so yet. I’m still getting myself situated. But yeah, I’d usually take care of that ASAP.
I still have a hard time talking to Tran though, because I still find her condescending. Like just today, I was saying how I just woke up from a nap, and she responded, “You really must like napping huh?” as if taking naps reflect how unproductive/lazy I am. First of all, naps aren’t bad. And secondly, school hasn’t started yet, I am not obliged to do anything yet ... so what’s wrong with resting up until then ... And third, I have been working on stuff. I might have not been handing out flyers to freshmen, but that doesn’t mean that’s the only work to be done. It’s just tiring to hear her talk.
