Spring Cleaning

Ok, so maybe it's technically not quite spring yet but I basically did my spring cleaning today. I was getting sick of looking at the mess my bedroom was. You would not believe how much stuff I threw away. It was very refreshing though because now my room will look better and I won't be embarassed to have people see that part of my apartment. I also slightly re-arranged my furniture. Ok, so I just moved my bed into a different spot. I like it better. It opens the room up.

I'm not quite done yet. I need to go through my filing cabinet and actually file stuff instead of just leaving it in a stack. My kitchen also needs to be cleaned yet again. But I did buy vaccum cleaner bags so I can finally vaccum my apartment. My music of choice today while cleaning was an album of the Bryn Mawr Night Owls called "Beat Vandal." Such an awesome a'capella group. Bryn Mawr is the college a very dear friend of mine that I am no longer in touch with went to. She introduced me to the Night Owls and I just love them. They are amazing. The recording that my friend gave me unfortunately was on tape and I listend the thing to death. The album is also sold out on the Night Owl website but I was able to get two of their newer CDs (Beat Vandal being one) and I really enjoy them. Definately going on my iPod. I got a little depressed this morning because I was looking at apartments in Chico. I was hoping to move there during the Summer but it was really quite discouraging. Most places don't accept pets, have leases, are expensive, or they want you to either have a good credit history or a co-signer, both of which I don't have. But I am actually feeling better now. Now that my apartment itsn't quite so cluttered it doesn't seem so bad and really the commute isn't that horrible. It's just time consuming. I mean it's kind of too bad that I don't get that many visitors because I live up here but just because I move to Chico, doesn't mean I'll get any more then. Plus, I don't really make the effort to invite people up here. I think it's mostly because I feel like I don't have much to entertain people with. I have games and movies and stuff, but that can only go so far. I'm not a great conversationalist either so that wouldn't work out. I guess I haven't built up that comfort yet where you can sit and enjoy someone's company without something specific going on. I'm sure it will come with time but it's a little frusterating right now I guess I feel like I have to make the trip "worth it.". Anyway, that was a little off topic. My apartment is fine and I'll probably be able to start making mulitple trips to Chico in a day for things because I won't be paying my dad back all that money come summer time and I will hopefully be getting a raise in March.
