The Breakdown

Yesterday was a strange day indeed. It resulted in a mini breakdown with all the stress of getting ready for the send off.

I took my laptop to Best Buy to get repaired. It fell off the table a few weeks ago and the case cracked. Luckily the thing still turned on and I was able to continue accessing information and I have accidental damage coverage for the laptop so the repairs won't cost me a thing. But with all the problems I have had with Best Buy (I will never shop there again) I am not optimistic that all will be done with out a headache to ensue.

I went to the bank today and the deposit is on it's way to my apartment. Hopefully I have made a good decision in a place to room. Once I receive confirmation on my rooming assignment I am going to purchase my plane ticket. Hopefully that will be by the end of this week.

Now is the issue with international health insurance. I have found a few decent plans and am ready to purchase. I just want to review them with someone knowledgeable.

On a lighter note, my parents purchased some hard sided Samsonite luggage for my journey! The luggage has a 10 year warranty, 360 degree rotating wheels and a TSA lock! Totally worth the money, especially since it was a Costco deal. Very nice!

I have to find some boots and a warm hat for the venture.

Time to do laundry.

Packing, packing, housing and more packing...

I have been diligently on the search for a place to sleep.

If I had been notified sooner about the dorms I could have been actively applying for the apartments across the street. Most of them are booked and even though I applied I have again been wait listed. I have an offer and the contract for Shanowen Hall in my e-mail box. It doesn't look bad and I can't be choosy at this point because I want to remain in the area (i.e. walking distance from the uni.)

In the meantime, I have been packing things to take with, packing things to store while I'm gone, packing things I don't want to pack ever again so I can donate the items.

I never thought I could have this much stuff. I'm thinking about selling it. But I want to have a sale where everything is out infront of the house, and if it is not gone by the end of the day DONATE IT!

Once I get the housing dillemma settled I will buy my plane ticket.
