I Can Has A Break?

Ugh. Moving is still not completely done, because there are still oh so many boxes left and I still didn't find 90% of my clothes, which leads to a small problem: what the hell am I going to wear tomorrow and after that...? I do plan to go shopping, because I'm in need of new clothes (which girl isn't?), but I don't have any time! I can't even go to my favourite Japanese shop to buy some anime posters to "dress up" my room, at least a bit. Impossible.
I have to stay at home (after school, of course), learn and unpack. Pain in the B. And I have to write an English project today about environment and learn for my Geography test. Dear School... can I have another day off, please? I want to catch up with the blogs I love. And go shopping. And sleep! PLEASE?!
The house is pretty. My room is pretty, but the air is a bit wierd... can't explain. I'm just not used to this place. I got lost 3 times when coming home. That's why I hate changing my route to school... and going on different buses. I can't even go out and explore the area, yet, because of being busy. Aaaah.
So, right now I'm listening to Twilight OST (love), and trying to convince myself to start learning and stop procrastinating. Hard things to do.
And, to make things more... colourful, I'll make some photos of my room once I'm done with everything. Or I'll try to be a bit more creative, to make RRR's way more interesting.
I might even make a small chain of posts called "RR's Journey in the World of Moving" or something like that.
Erm, you might have noticed that I wasn't able to "complete" all the monthly features last month. And I feel awkward, but I don't think that I could've posted much, anyway. Busy month. Busy me. But I'll try to give my best this time! Cheers.
Snow and Moving
Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 7:47 PM
This will be my weekly personal post to update about... everything going on right now with me. I'm not sure whether my sentences will make any sense, because I'm seriously tired. I guess I'm way too often drained. Basically all of my personal posts are about me telling everyone how much my life sucks. I'm a whining biatch and I can't blame PMS today. But! I can blame two other things.
1.) Snow. I hate snow. It looks pretty at first, but then it turns into mud (or simply to water) and it will annoy me to hell. And that's exactly why I was in horror when I realized that it was snowing on Sunday. Thus, I skipped my dance class again, because I was way too depressed to move out. And finished all my assignments instead. Yes, I fail.
But again. I always wish for snow during Xmas. And wish it would just disappear right away after that.
2.) Moving. You don't have an idea how much we've moved, already. Let's see... the number is over 10, for sure. And it freaks me out. When I told my friends their first question was "Again?". You see, not only me, but my whole family fails.
I HATE packing. I hardly have any freetime starting from today (well, it's not like I had much before, either, but still...) and when my step-dad told me to start packing, I replied with "learning > moving and packing". He obviously went mad. And I obviously didn't care. I always stressed that I will not be able to do this kind of "housework" during school, and that's why we should move during a break. My family obviously didn't care about my bitching. And so, I obviously don't care about theirs.
For some days I didn't even turn on Zero, my laptop. Which didn't really happen since I got him. (Yes, he is a male. In my mind, at least. And yes, he got his name from the anime called "Vampire Knight".) I actually don't really know what I was doing.... re-reading Twilight, probably. And writing essays. School = no life here.
Onto better news!
I fell from the stairs today. At school. Well, it's not "better", for sure, but thus, I had a reason to skip medicinal P.E. Heh! Sprained my leg, hurts like hell, and the people around me were wondering whether I was still alive, but turned out I was, so they moved on. Luckily.
And here's the difference between a friend of mine (let's call her Debra) and my mother's reaction.
Mum: You are home early today.
Me: Yeah, I fell from the stairs at school, so I decided to skip medicinal P.E.
Mum: WHAT?!
Me: Don't worry, I only fell about 5 steps.
Mum: WHAT?!
Me: You know, I got used to it, already. I'm a klutz.
Me: I fell from the stairs today.
Debra: *laughs* Sounds like you.
Me: It sure does! But at least I have a reason to skip P.E.
Debra: Hell yeah.
See? I guess that's why my mother is always worried when I'm going somewhere alone, or she doesn't know where I am. Because I always get into trouble. The only trouble that seems to avoid me is Edward. Gah.
Anywho. I will not go on a hiatus or any kind of break, because we should have internet at our new house, too by this weekend. And that's what makes me feel slightly better. Call me addicted. But I use the web mainly only for blogging and learning (and checking my favourite sites). But I want to stress learning.
And! I'm going to see Twilight this Friday. I texted another friend of mine, Ivy asking whether she'll join me or not. We go to med. P.E. together, and last week I told her how addicted to Twilight I am, and that I must see the movie next week (so, this week). She didn't promise to come with me, but she definitely did sound like she would be up for it. However, I still didn't get her reply. Weird much? Whatever. I'll see her in some days, anyway.
...and then I'll be able to write November's Chick Flicks. Yay! (Because, seriously, Twilight MUST be included.)
Moving.

It can be either an exciting or a tiresome thing to do - it depends on how you see it. If you're thinking positive, you will most like look forward to meeting the new neighbours, deciding on which room you'll choose, and how will you furnish it. But if you're rather negative (or not), the first thing that comes to mind is the fact that moving is actually a quite hard thing to do. So here are some tips to make everything go smoothly.
First of all, inform your friends about moving. They might help you out (with packing, for example) and you can share your problems/ideas about the whole thing.
Packing is the worst part of moving (for me). I always realize that 50% of my stuff are redundant things, which I'll never use (I have a great pile of magazines in a chest, and most likely will never read them again), and this makes me feel a bit guilty, but relieved that I don't have that much things to pack as I thought, after all.
Anyway, make sure to label the boxes according to what you put in them, so when it's time for unpacking you will know what is inside of it. Make a box for hardware tools, so they won't get damaged, as well. And finally, put the things you will really need (for me these are: mp4 player, purse, identity card, keys, mobile phone, etc.) in a bag, so they will be near you and thus, they (hopefully) won't get lost.
If you are moving during school year, make sure to pack your books, notebooks, backpack in a certain box you will find easily (smaller sized one).
More tips:
- Use the packing tape to seal the boxes.Make sure that the lights and heaters are working in your new house to avoid troublesome situations. And try to enjoy living in a new environment.
- Use smaller, same-sized boxes. Reason: easier to move.
- Reserve a moving truck as soon as you know the date of moving.
- Be sure to have enough boxes!!
