easy going

so i have definitely taken it easy the past 24 hours. i went out (for the last time) with my former roomie. i woke up early and took my time with everything today. lunch, some shopping, lots of internet searches, dinner, and prepping for my move. easy.

packing: i started early this morning and did some leftover packing from yesterday. although my biggest issue today was: how do i get two large bottles of booze to new york? you can't ship it, especially usps. apparently it is actually a federal crime to ship alcohol using the federal post. fedex and ups (who i hate) both are obnoxious about sending alcohol, so you really just have to lie to them. committing a crime and/or getting my booze confiscated didn't appeal to me. so i'm going with the obvious solution. pack it with everything else in my u-box. they have nothing on their website about alcohol, besides specialized boxes for wine bottles. so i'm using some techniques i found online to pack it, and it's going in the box. (i bought a styrofoam cooler, typical size, and a small moving box to fit it in. the cooler doesn't quite fit but the bottles can lay on their sides so i'll make it fit.)

graduating: no progress here, but tomorrow looks like it'll be the day.

job hunting: made some leeway here. applied to god-knows how many positions on craigslist. i used my snappy "you need me. i'm awesome." response instead of the stuffy cover letter response. we'll see which one gets a better response. although i already got one, and it was to the stuffy cover letter. this will be interesting. i also contacted the recruiters. i don't hold out much hope, but it might come to something.

apartment hunting: since the sublet is in place, i've given up looking for a permanent place. until i get a job, that is.

money: wierd side effect of moving. everyone wants to go out for one last hurrah! and wants to pay for it. free meals. a horrible reason to get together with my friends, but really it's just a bonus! i'm so poor! it means i don't have to worry about how many people i agree to go out with.

christian: no progress that i know of. though he did have a relaxing weekend hanging out. should i warn him that it'll be his last as a single man? hahaha he'll be able to do trips like the one he did today to fire island, because i don't like the beach enough to travel 3 hours to get there. no thanks. though i think i'll be able to keep him from binging when he goes out with friends. get him to stop at a reasonable hour instead of at 3am. crazy old man!
