cozy new apartment

Current mood: lonely

It seems everytime I post a blog, it's a bad day. Maybe one of these days I'll be feeling reflective and happy at the same time! Today was just one of those harder days. I actually have some good stuff to say though. I moved last Monday, and I really like my new place. It's pretty small. There's no room for my computer desk, so for right now, I have my monitor on a folding chair and I am sitting on the floor with my keyboard in my lap. Quite the setup. Maybe I should invest in a laptop... but I have already had lots of big expenses lately, and I have to buy a plane ticket to Hong Kong soon too. Oh, what to do? Anyway, back to my apartment. It's cute, even if it's small. Hopefully I won't feel too cramped. I guess I won't be having lots of big parties! The location is great though. Today I sat and read by the lake, which is just down the street about a 2 minute walk. I like that nothing is really that far away from where I live. Another cool thing is a piano in the basement in the community room that I can play whenever i want! I haven't yet, but I plan to start tomorrow. I think this new apartment is going to be a good new start for me.

So, my day went like this:
Church at Seattle Mennonite in the morning.
Home for lunch.
Talked to my parents on the phone. (They're so great.)
Read by the lake.
Did more unpacking and organizing of the new apartment (learning the art of maximizing space)
Ate supper.
Went to U. Pres. for church #2 of the day - good sermon on Love & Fear (1 John 4).
Went to Barnes & Noble. I did quite a bit of browsing and bought Mere Christianity by CS Lewis, Where is God When It Hurts by Philip Yancey, and Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. I can hardly wait to get into them.
