Moving Day

So um, yeah... I just finished about 50 trips to and from my car to move officially to my new apartment. There's a sense of finality in it, like I won't ever live in my parents' home again probably. I spent most of the summer here and now it's time for me to live and do the adult thing (with training wheels of course). Honestly, I'm not looking forward to teaching next week because I really needed more time to prepare. On Tuesday of this week I found out that one of the big wigs in the program had DECIDED that the students should read this 480 pg book that I've never read or heard of... not to mention I've never taught a class before. On the other hand, I refuse to become really stressed abt this class. I will do my best and we'll see what happens. If I try to fight the book thing instead of going with the flow it will only lead to headache for me and my students.

I get my bed from Ikea delivered tomorrow, and I'm also going up there to buy a TV stand and bedside table. That's going to be a lot of stuff to put together, so I'm glad I like stuff like that. I managed to get over the whole Ikea way of doing things. Picking up the pieces of my bed wasn't THAT bad... though I wasn't really picking anything up I was more like watching and barely helping because I was being kinda prissy. I mean, who wears a skirt when they know they are going to be handling heavy things? Me. Thanks MSL for putting up with my lack of planning, disrespect for time and unhelpfulness. You certainly helped me a whole lot, blessing-like. Tomorrow I'm making the Ikea trip alone. Hopefully they will have the two items I need and I can get in and get out BEFORE the time window in which my bed is supposed to be delivered. Now I'm really glad I didn't sign up to have the bed delivered from 4 to 8 because I'm sure that I will want to have gotten the hell out of there by the time 4pm or so rolls around. It feels like a lot of my blessings currently are mixed because I'm facing a bit of adversity (I'm not used to that). I guess there's nothing to do here but grow. You can pray for me that I'll be faithful and not try to do all of this without soliciting God's help and strength and guidance. Also, I'm in a situation right now where I need discernment of character. I guess the fact that I feel that way though should tell me a little something. Here's a praise. It will have been one year as of next Thursday since my life fell apart... or at least that's what I once thought. I like the place God has lead me to for this moment, but I'm not interested in staying put here forever.
