We got the keys to our new apartment on wednesday! Possibly the single most amazing moment of this semester. I felt so legit and grownup (ironic how high school-y that sentence sounds considering I feel so adult...)! I love my new apartment. I have my own room. My closet is the size of the room I lived in while abroad last semester. Oh! AND I have an amazing shower all to myself! YAYAYAYAY! SO much excitement I can't even begin to contain it.

My room!

For those of you who don't know, Trinity has a THREE year living requirement. This means I have lived...in a dorm...for THREE years. Not fun. But now, that part of my life is behind me, and I have an amazingly beautiful 1500 sq ft apartment with two of the best girls I know. It also happens to be in a great location. One mile from school. Across the street from Quiznos and Central Market. Down the street from two of the best museums in SATown...etc. Could it get any better than that?! Um, no. No it couldn't. (Hmm...unless rent was free...Hey, Landlord?)

My Bathroom

My key is silver. My roommate, Emily, and I had to pick between gold (more like brass but gold sounds fancier) and silver. After much debate, she chose gold and I chose silver. It completes my keychain beautifully. It's hanging off my London keychain, which I find fitting because it combines two of my "homes,"San An and London  *love*.

Did I mention that my apartment complex is called Treehouse? Je l'aime beaucoup.

My living room/dining room

Me and a couple of my friends broke in the apartment last night by sitting on my kitchen floor drinking Beer N All margaritas and chatting. ----For those of you who don't know what BNA is- it's a drive-thru liquor store that sells you ready made margaritas in a styrofoam cup they put in a plastic bag so you don't have an open container in your car. Classy, no?---- Sitting on my apartment floor. No furniture. No air conditioning. Good friends. And good booze. Such a fitting way to spend the first GNO in the new apartment.

Well, all apartment business aside, life has been extremely full and stressful. End of the year rush is always insane, but this year it is unbearable. I have 4 term papers and 3 exams left before I can consider myself a college senior. What a daunting next week and a half... one way or another everything will get done. Hopefully moving into my apartment doesn't make me totally unmotivated and unproductive in school work as I think it will. Haha...yeahhhhhhhhh.




Also, totally off topic, but was Kate Middleton's wedding gown not incredible?! I loved it. So perfect for the occasion. Lovely service. Oh how I miss you, London! What I would do to be there... well we won't go into that! hehe!
