Ahh, summertime

We're all moved into our apartment for the summer. Moving weekend was a week ago, and it was insane. Sara and I were up until 4:30am packing, took a nap for an hour and a half, got up at 6:00, and finished packing and cleaning. We then checked out of our house at 9:30am, chilled until 3:00pm, and moved everything into our apartment across campus. We're all still sore from the venture, and I think I've finally caught up on sleep from then.

My summer reading has commenced! I'm 150 pages into Middlesex at the moment, and have also added Barbara Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer and Anne Lammot's Traveling Mercies to the reading list. My best friend, Kim, called yesterday to tell me that she has a box of books to send me. Yay! I keep plugging along, enjoying every minute I have of reading for pleasure.

I must blog about my room. I know, it sounds kind of silly, but I am really loving having my own space. It's been too long! Emi and Sonya are sharing a room for the summer, so I get the other bedroom and have an open bunk for if friends come over to stay. We went to IKEA Saturday and I bought two desks lamps, as my room is pretty dark with the one dim light in the ceiling. My window looks out onto tree branches and the house next door, but the view of the house is blocked by the trees in such a way that I don't feel like anyone can see into my space. I guess it's a very peaceful room, and I love spending time in it. I especially love that I can stay up as late as I want, or go to bed as early as I wish, and I don't bother anyone. That's one of the best parts, I think. :)
