I'm on my way!

I've taken the first steps in my big move to Cambridge. I brought a whole car-load of stuff to my mom's house this weekend that's going to be in storage while I live in Cambridge. The majority of that car-load was made up of my books. It pains me to be without them, but I kept a choice few with me that I'm hoping to read in the relatively near future. Plus, there are these new-fangled things called "public libraries" that I suspect I'll be able to access whilst in Cambridge. So, I should be able to keep myself supplied with books. In fact, the main branch of the Cambridge Public Library is less than a 15 minute walk away from my new apartment.

Now that I'm finally making progress on the move (I've also contacted some movers and I'm working on a game plan for The Big Day), I'm feeling a lot less stressed and a lot more excited about living there. Before this, my nerves about moving had been outweighing the excitement, but now that's switched and I'm really looking forward to it. Not to mention that I'm looking forward to selling my car, which means a) no longer having all the expenses that go with a car and b) getting some extra funds from the sale. Good stuff! Because it's all about money, of course.

I'm going to Cambridge tomorrow night for a "practice run" at being roomies with my future apartment-mates. Of course, we don't really need a practice run, but I had to go there for the night anyway so we figured we'd play it up. I'll be there for the night because on Wednesday I've got to go to a Simmons Advising Day. I'm looking forward to getting oriented on campus and to signing up for classes and setting up my plan of study. It should be a good day, if I can just keep myself from being too nervous.

After spraining my ankle pretty badly a couple of weeks ago, I'm finally feeling mostly better... and just in the nick of time for having to traipse around Cambridge and Boston tomorrow and Wednesday! Things are looking up! :)
