Hi!
I live in the library now. Well, the library and boxes around the apartment. Dave and I move next Tuesday, a.k.a. Halloween, and we are a strange mix of packed and not packed. Not packed enough that it really seems possible to move in less than a week, but enough that I have trouble thinking of what to pack next.
Moving makes it kind of hard to study as much as a should right now, since I am trying to keep my books out of the house for the most part. That's how I end up spending lots of time in the scary, tall UMass library, where I've been loaned a tiny, windowless room on the 22nd floor. So, even though I'm midway through the semester and need to spend time figuring out my final paper topics, along with the rest of the reading and writing required of me, I tend to spend a couple extra hours in the library after I finish each day, and then go home, where I don't touch any books except to put them in boxes.
Exciting things about this move include:
+ It's right downtown, and very close to the bus stop- something I think about every time I take the bus to or from UMass these days.
+ In exchange for a small amount of cleaning and upkeep of public spaces in the office building we live in, we get a ridiculously good deal on rent and utilities.
+ The kitchen has laundry hookups, so we bought laundry machines! I am so looking forward to not having to think about the laundromat anymore. (Which one will be less crowded? Where will I be able to sit and read? Or do I want beer and laundry?)
+ Soon the move will be over and we'll be going to see the Decemberists!

I'm so jealous, they're nearly sold out in Boston, you can only buy single tickets now, no two seats are together. :(
