So I've been moving into a new apartment over the last few days. It's been a lot of work and involved about a dozen Target runs. It's ridiculous how many times I've realized I needed something that I didn't have. Ahh well, I'm getting close to a point of working order.
I've had a lot of other realizations while I've been moving in too, though. After living in a dorm for so many years, there are a ton of things that are kinda ingrained into me that are no longer relevant. They're little, but I found them kinda interesting when I realized how for granted I took them.
For instance, I got up to go to the bathroom one morning when I woke up and realized that I didn't have to put on shoes or sandals because it's my personal bathroom and the only thing that's been on it besides my feet is a bunch of bleach and soapy water.
Or I was out shopping and thinking about what to buy when I realized that I had a fridge, a freezer, and a ton of cabinet space back in my apartment. I could, and should, but real food. And I did. And I made tacos that night. And it was grand.
I also realized that bassy music is way more noticable in an apartment than in a dorm. My subwoofer regularly ran at about 60% volume in the dorms. Here, I have it set to about 20%.
Even today, while I was hanging up clothes, I was thinking about how it would be nice when the weather got colder so that I could start dressing in layers and wearing longer stuff (as most of the fashion sense that I have is based around longer wear). Then I realized that summer was starting, not ending. Every other time I've moved into a new place, it's been the beginning of a new school year with fall approaching. Not so this time.
None of these things are huge, but I find it amusing how often I run across something that makes me think twice about what I had taken for granted. Weird.
