lol, my old roommate and i have had some 2 am conversations..i think i had gotten up to make fish sticks at 2 am and she hung out with me for a bit in the kitchen while i was doing it. but we were good friends so it wasn't odd. also all your trips sound exciting!! it's now officially one week until i'll be in nashville, and i just purchased my parking pass for the year. it's all coming together -

thank you! i'm leaving next sunday, so i'm hoping they mail it by then. otherwise, i'll have to wait for my parents to mail it down to nashville. and oooh dear, i understand what you mean. my siblings are all 8-9 now (i'm 23), and they are so mouthy! some of the things my brother says to my mom make me gasp! and when i visited, she would tell me to lighten up, but i definitely chewed him out a couple of times. i guess they've loosened up on discipline since i was a kid, lol. -
yeah, i was very confused about this too..

my driver's license is issued for NYS, but the address listed on it is not a NYS address. not sure if NYS would classify that as a misdemeanor, but i googled and some states do. :/ -

I had a terrible dream, so I've been up since 5:30 or so...and now it's 7:45. Also I realized that now that I'm driving regularly, I should fix my license to not have an out of state address on it..the DMV screwed up and printed an out of state address on my license which can be a misdemeanor in some states, and I really don't want to risk that. At least I have a temp one for two months, cus I suspect it won't arrive to my parents house before I drive down.. -

i should be in nashville in two weeks! this is so scary but also so exciting! my orientation schedule is up so i know what to expect.. i'm so excited to get back into the swing of things! eta: one of the postdocs from my old lab is emailing me about the smallest things! and it's frustrating! -

i have such a weird relationship with my parents. like..my dad is supportive financially and our relationship has gotten better, but i still get extremely anxious visiting home because of how strict it was when i was growing up. i feel really awful feeling this way when my dad and stepmom have done so much for me, but the environment i grew up in was really body-shamey and there was always a lot of pressure to look, act, and be a certain way. i know things have changed, but i get back into the mindset whenever i come back home and it really sucks. -

oh dear, i'm sorry to hear that. maybe once you and the others get to know each other more, you'll find someone else that you jive with! also, are there opportunities to meet others outside of your cohort? -

happy wednesday everyone! hope you all are doing well. gahhh, only about three and a half weeks until i'm moved down to nashville! my dad and i are driving from new york, and i'm a little nervous about how that car ride will be. we both have similar quiet personalities, so i foresee awkward silence happening..but maybe it won't. moving has made me realize how little clothes i have...i thought i had a ton but i'm seeing that's not the case. and most of my wardrobe is black, too. i think i need to change that... also, i'm curious! what are you all's stances on mac vs pc? i've used both but i'm thinking of selling my macbook air for a pc in a couple weeks. -

hey, i saw you talking about the purple mattress a couple of weeks ago. did you end up getting one? -
i'm using this time to recharge. my stepdad had surgery so i went to my mom's to help out with the sibs, then i'm going to dad's to see the family and visit friends for 3 weeks before moving down to nashville. i've been relaxing super hard and playing lots of games. i miss the hustle and bustle of working, though.

wow, so much has happened in the last couple of days! hope you all are doing well. i got the apartment i wanted with someone with a ton of common furniture! we still need to supplement but not with any HUGE pieces or anything. it's crazy to think that i'll be down in nashville in 6 short weeks. i am so excited to get back into an academic setting. but for right now, i'm chilling at each parent's house for a couple of weeks right now i have my mom's lazy, sweet pittie sleeping on my feet and have been taking full advantage of her keurig and stocked pantry. they return from a weekend trip to new york today so I think I'm going to surprise 'em with spaghetti and meatballs and some garlic bread for dinner! -

yeah, she's seen allergists, endocrinologists, ents, cardiologists..you name it. they can't figure out what the issue is. she has her own speculations and is self-dxing but can't get doctors to confirm. also all the pathologists she's seen haven't screened her for what she's self-dxing as..so it's tough. i think they didn't admit her because she stabilized enough, i'm not sure.. she has established allergies that she obvi steers clear of, but then she'll get these random reactions caused by unknown triggers :/ -

one of my roommates has severe allergies...now i'm terrified to have allergies. for the last couple of months, she's been in and out of the hospital with anaphylaxis and she has no idea what's triggering it. a few days ago, she almost had to be admitted to icu after needing 5 epi pens to stabilize her throat swelling.. today was my official last day in the lab. we went out to lunch (16 of us) and i almost cried when my boss gave his farewell speech to me. it's been 2 long years, and i'm going to miss them so much. -

so pretty much in the span of 24 hours, housing situations changed! the chem student is sold on the complex i like..i put in my app, and she's putting hers in later on today! as far as furnishings, she has most of the big pieces so there won't be an issue with splitting things once we part our ways (which i'm hoping won't be for a while). now i need to tell the duplex girl that i don't want the duplex, and i can start looking at things to buy! also the apartment complex is right across from a target..simultaneously the best and worst thing ever. -

thanks guys for looking out! yeah, honestly..i think i'm gonna rethink this duplex. it's in a great location, pretty cheap for the area, and i can get over the bathroom thing surely. i really don't pee that much anyway (sorry for the tmi)... if it really doesn't work out, i can just move out after the lease is up! easy! @MarineBluePsy, i'm glad things are looking up for you! now you can relax. -

well, there's a duplex that's 10 mins to campus -- but the bedroom is upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs and that bothers me a bit! then there's a chem student that wants to room with me, but is still indecisive about a place whereas i've kind of made up my mind about an apartment complex i'd like to live in. i guess i could forgo the stress of waiting on other people and put down a deposit at the complex, but they have an income to rent ratio thing and i don't currently have a roommate... so now i'm wondering do i advertise for one? and hope they have lots of common room furniture (since i don't have much) or are at least willing to go all HGTV on a new apartment with me? -

still sick i'm also being very indecisive about housing situation..there are a lot of house shares and a lot of them seem really great, but i'm really bad at choosing! -

i hope to be able to at some point...right now i don't have much furniture of my own so either I need to find someone with a lot of common furniture or someone willing to decorate an apartment with me! -
