i'll be signing my apartment lease in 3 days' time. that day shall mark my first official day as an adult. why would i say so? i will be living on my own, paying utilities bills on their entirety (shall watch out how often i switch on the heater or ac coz i've never been too conscious about electricity usage), and yes, i'd have to decorate my apartment with new furnitures and appliances. i am finally committing myself to buying a ton of things that would make manassas my permanent home for a little while. am certainly excited since i've never lived alone unless if living in a dorm with no roommates is considered as one. i don't have to play by roommies' rules since i set my own standard and i don't have to do any "small talk" to the wall, which shall become next-to-be best friend. anyway, i do have a tiny speck of doubt. being an outgoing person has worked its best in having good relationship with all 25 roommies i've had in the past. i am just worried that i'll become a bit depressed upon seeing an empty apartment when i return from work, with nobody saying "hey!" or even the slightest hint of any human movement besides mine. i think i'm just so used to having somebody wherever i live that i know when to shut off whenever i need my alone time and open up whenever i am all fired up to talk about how my day went.
well, sis will be in manassas for about 3 months during summer to take her summer school. it will be another opportunity to have roommie, though you can't consider your sis as a roommie. our schedules will be total opposites, so i hope she won't disturb my sleeping time. meanwhile, i've started pre-selecting plates, bowls, glasses, and pillows that i would be buying for my new apartment. i guess you work harder in getting better things when you're financially more sane and you know that you'll be solely using them anyway.
it's snow storm season around dc area. the good news is that i am able to witness two completely different sceneries when i am going to work before the dawn breaks and when i am walking out of the fab when it's way past dusk. it's magical to see the greenery being replaced by pure white winter (though it's a pain in the butt to shovel off snow from my car and clear the pathway). i do hope that there won't be much shoveling that i'd have to do tomorrow morning. the weather report predicted that it will be snowing up 10 inches tonight.
anyway, a beautiful picture taken of micron's front sign during the snow storm last saturday. cool eh?
