Not enough sleep over the past two nights and not much coming tonight, either. I am sitting on the couch in my cousin Cameron's apartment in Albany Park in northern Chicago. Got in a few hours ago and have already viewed one apartment just a few miles from here in Lakeview about a mile off the lake, if I decide to go there it will be with two other guys - one grad student and one who just got his master's. Seemed like good guys; I guess we'll see how the other people I'm meeting with turn out. It's too expensive to get a studio/any apartment alone.
Oh well. I'm ready to move. And work might start as early as January 4th. And then I'll get to work with monkeys and build things and learn stuff and be around people my age and even some friends from college and I'M MOVING SOON!!!! Wow this is happening fast. It's very exciting; so exciting I'm not really nervous at all yet. That will probably come later. Maybe.
Well, it's after midnight and I need to get up early to move my car (weird parking zones near schools; have to move it before 7:00am). After spending about 15 hours on the road between today and yesterday, I'm ready to not have to do that a whole lot more. It was completely worth driving out to Pittsburgh yesterday and back today to be at Kaleem's wedding, but so much traveling is quite wearing. Abrasive to the brain, one might say. And with that, good night.
I thought of you as we watched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom last night. Monkey brains were quite the delicacy. Yum. Congrats on the job and the apartment. Peace. Bruce
