apartment update

okay, so i didn't get to sign the papers for my place yet, but it seems like she's not waiting to give it to someone else. she's just not in a huge hurry because the place has to get painted before i can move in and why bother rushing?

everything i see now, i'm keep wondering if i could use it to decorate my place. like i'll be in restaurants and see a bamboo wall art thing, or some really cool lights, whatever.  i was really excited about how my dorm finally ended up looking at the end of senior year. i didn't take a picture of it, but it was just classy as hell. i want this place to look even better.  (joey, maybe i'll make another table lol)

i'm going over color schemes, looking at cool lights i can make myself, thinking about making my own art (how hard could it be lol), so many things. gill, who deserves a post in his own right, he's a really interesting guy, says he'll give me/sell me cheap his projector, so i could set up like a really sweet thing that could play video off my computer, which just seems like such a good idea considering it's not like i can watch tv anyway lol. i could watch archer all the time! i'm so excited to have my own place is really the moral here.

i don't know if i mentioned earlier, but a girl named nicole, one of my old residents and then a fellow ra and a friend, got a scholarship to study in a university in southern taiwan. she's coming a week earlier than her program starts and she'll be staying with me! i'm super psyched about it, i am planning so many options for things to do. i've found good restaurants, i'm buying extra towels and things, whatever i can do now when i still don't have a place to live. she comes in 12 days, so hopefully i move in pretty quickly.  i might be helping paint because i don't know how long this process will take if it's just her. we can talk about it when we're signing contracts. i'm gonna have to bring one of my new tpr (the princeton review) friends as a translator.  it's really embarrassing, everyone who just got here speaks better chinese than me, either they're an abc (american born chinese, apparently it's a big acronym here, hope it's not offensive? i heard other people using it. what if it's one of those things where they can use it but not me?) or like double majored in chinese and something else.  it's a good reason to work harder at it i guess lol.
