the high life

i am the happiest i have been in a long time.

today i rearranged my furniture and it's like the apartment is brand new. i created my own neat little space. my desk is no longer in the corner between the dresser, the closet and the bathroom. my bed no longer juts precariously into the hallway. my stuff no longer spills onto the floor like an monster of paper.

as if that weren't enough joy, my neighbor messaged me today (she could have just shouted through the wall, but whatever) and my ex-roomie came down, and we held a Monty Python Breakfast Cereal bash. we all went down to the lounge with Comfy Chairs and watched monty python and the holy grail (but only after we finished our work, this was stipulated in our contract). it was hilarious. on the couch behind us, a couple practicing some shady manuevers actually stopped because they got so into the movie. the security guard came down to watch it with us and took down the title in his address book.

then after the movie, we walked out to the grocery store and each bought a box of cereal, except for my ex-roomie, who bought a popcycle (in the middle of a blizzard). then we proceeded to exchange boxes and much on random cereal while walking back to the dorm through the driving snow. and you know what? it was cold and gluey and we were all laughing and i know it sounds like some corny girlpower movie, but i feel so happy again that corn is a small price to pay.
