Favorite Quotation

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
...Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Marianne Williamson

Epic days before the start of school...

So over the past 24 hours I have gone from thinking I would be living in one place until the end of the school year, then to hoping to move, to selling my contact at the first place and being homeless, to moving into my new place and trying to get organized and unpacked.

So my whole adventure really started on Friday. One of my best friends, Brian, was up in Logan helping someone else move from Salt Lake up here for their last semester of schooling. They called me up and I went to hang out with them. Stephen, my new housemate was bragging about how much he was paying and everything for the size of the house and I kinda wanted in on it.

He gave me the number to his landlord and I called mine to see if I would be able to sell my contract and move sometime during the first week of school. (I know I am crazy wanting to move during the start of a new work schedule/trying to figure out when I can sleep and just the craziness of school in general) She said that she did not have anyone looking at the time but would keep an eye out for me so that if something came up she would be able to let me know.

So I continue hanging out and just having a good time, not really able to sleep Friday night, it was kinda warm and I couldn't stop thinking about school, work, just life in general. About 9 am my current landlady calls and says she has someone that wants my contract today, how early would I be able to get my stuff out. So I start packing and cleaning getting ready to move out.

He wasn't coming to sign the contract till 12:30p. A lot can happen during that time so I didn't pack all of my stuff just in case something went wrong. My new landlord told me they would be in Logan around 11:00 a so I thought I would be able to meet with her and then sell my contract and move my stuff without any real sitting period. Well that didn't happen, at 1:00p there was still not solid word on if I had a place to live as the new landlord had not shown up.

I asked Brian if I could stick all my stuff in his Van and hoped that I would be able to unpack it somewhere before the end of the night.

The landlord showed up about 3p, I was able to sign the contract and move in. Now I am in the process of un-packing I hope to be done before classes start on Monday or I will not have any of my books or school supplies because packing was less knowing where I was putting stuff and more throwing everthing I could into a box so that get out fast so I don't have an easy way to unpack as my things are not organized.

But it is a small price to pay to be in a better place.
