Transition~

Crunch-time has definitely made its presence felt. However, I am in no hurry. This is the week of the DNC in Downtown, Denver so I have the week off. This gives me plenty of time to move everything. The majority of things are already packed. All that's left are the bare-essential cooking utensils, clothes, and furniture. Move-in begins tomorrow at 11:30am (well...that's when I sign my lease). Finally, I can claim independence. Aside from my phone, I will have my own bills, my own lease, my own adult life. In sheer cheeseyness, you could say that this'll be a "new lease on life." But that won't be until my source of monetary stability comes from a different origin. With finding a place of my own out of the way, I can concentrate all my energies into the job-hunt once again. The new phone number, the new place, the process of moving...when a person is pushed to limits and given a deadline, he/she can get a lot done~

What this month has taught me (or re-affirmed) is that a person really has only himself to rely on. "If you want something done right, do it yourself. And if the result is unsatisfactory, you only have yourself to blame." Sure, there was help offered but because of my personality, I'm reluctant to accept any (the feeling of being in debt to someone is quite undesirable). There is great pride in accomplishing things on an individual basis. That's not to say that I'm a loner or prefer to be along, it's an elevated sense of fulfillment, success, triumph, whatever you want to call it. For this, I am quite proud of myself~

So, where have I relocated to? I've transfered to a vicinity in the area of a forgotten place where comrades gathered to clock in those extra hours for academic achievement. My no means is it as snazzy as my current/former place of residence but it will fit the bill for the short term. Come February 2009, I'll (hopefully) be somewhere quieter, newer, and more professional. It goes as follows: Cimarron Ridge in Aurora, Concordia in Lakewood, The Lofts at Belmar, and now Brittany Manor in Denver. *sigh* I just remembered that I'll have to do the whole address change process again. Such a pain. The moving process as a whole is a pain. Rest assured, once it's over, I'll expel one of the largest sighs of relief these lungs can breathe. That'll be one less problem to worry about~

Rocky roads this month has been. And even more difficult will the following month be. Although moving will no longer be a part of the picture, I've still got a lot to do. There are more worries that need to be satisfied. Along with this new lease, new contact and so-forth, I've also acquired a new symbol of hope and promise to compliment the one that hangs from my neck. Call it a charm if you will. I call it a piece of mind~

As always, I find myself left behind in the BHG. I've recently received my figure to complete the neko collection. Last again. But it just tells me that I've got a lot of catching up to do. The leader is doing well on his homefront, the subleader is holding his own. Now, the back-up dancer has this opportunity to rise to the ranks and make a name for himself in order to feel the warm glow of the spotlight. Which reminds me, I haven't been to Church in a while. Sad day. That aside, my time will come. Partly because I deserve it. But mostly because I've earned it~
