I need to move.......

I have 5 days before I have to move out of my apartment and I haven't even started packing yet. I have been trying to sell off my furniture and some items still remain. Hopefully they'll be gone by then. Maybe I'm relaxed cos in my mind's eye, I already know what is going into which box and what I am giving away. I'm moving into a friend's house and will keep my stuff there till school starts.

I ordered a Timbuk2 laptop messenger bag yesterday. I already have a black laptop bag and I just wanted one that was a bit casual so I chose the colors I wanted by building my own bag. Here is a sample. Even though I know that I'm going to get a free backpack from school, I generally don't like carrying a backpack unless its necessary.

Ok. Time to start packing.

All and sundry

I've realised that I am just as busy as I was while I was working. The only good thing is that I don't have to worry about deliverables anymore.Now, if I am tired, I don't have to complete the task. I can kick back on the sofa and let tomorrow deal with it.

I have signed a lease on an apartment in Boston and I got the move-in date I wanted which is a week before school starts. I can use that time to do some shopping for my apartment and meet new classmates. I also have the option of taking scuba diving lessons but I haven't decided on it yet.My finances for school have also been sorted out.

I decided to buy the IBM 12.1'' Thinkpad X61t and have ordered it. Even though Lenovo has been having some order delays, at least I'll get it before schoool starts. I was able to use the Father's day sale with the 10% discount from AMEX so that saved me some money.

Right now, I've just started boxing my things and deciding on what I would keep, sell or give away. I also have some family commitments that would occupy me till the end of July so busy months ahead.

My current headache is sorting out my immunization requirements for Massachusetts. My immunization record is all over the place and even though I have been able to retrieve some, I have no idea what happened to the rest. I have till middle of July to have it ready and I'm really not keen on getting those shots if I don't find the record.

Phew! Time to chill out some more on my couch!
