What a crazy day I had yesterday, so many things happened, some random and some emotional, that kind of overwhelmed me:
- Our roommate Alex packed up a big truck and moved out, heading out to San Francisco, and taking with him one of our couches and lots of other random things from the apartment
- We switched cable/internet to RCN
- We got a new dishwasher
- I made the official call to Princeton to let them know I am coming, and sent the official email declining the offer at NCAR
- I finally made some progress (I think) in how I show some of my research results
- A couple close friends came over last night to grill and play board games before one of them leaves town for good at the end of the week
- Someone I dated on OK Cupid stopped by to pick up earrings before moving out of town and wanted to say hi, though I was terribly busy at that very moment and felt very awkward about doing so, so I avoided it.
Whew, lots of things happening. I'm still struggling to deal with my emotions for my thesis/future, and all these other events, some of which obviously are less significant than others, made for a very emotionally-confusing day.
Perhaps the biggest event was actually my roommate leaving, who I think we didn't do much to celebrate his leaving, which I now find tremendously sad given that I saw him as our effective apartment greeter and friend every single day, and now I likely won't see him again other than an occasional visit here or there. He was a unique character without a doubt, but I am definitely going to miss him, yet I don't think I processed that fact even the slightest bit until yesterday. Even now, going downstairs and seeing his empty room is making me sad.
So anyways, busy busy times. I feel a little overwhelmed.
