So after a full week of unintentional time-wasting, I return to a time of accomplishment. Or at least activity.

Yesterday: I get woken up at 8AM by my future landlord, Mr. Pellegrini, saying that my lease contract is ready in his office for me to grab and to sign, and that his secretary would be there between 10 and 12. So I shower, eat, fill up my bags with my stuff, get there at 10, and no one's home. So I go back, play Chinese Chess, watch an Avatar: The Last Airbender episode on Netflix, then go back after 11 and meet the secretary. I get the contracts, read them, and walk back to my apartment to haul my bags. I bring all my bags in the new apartment, find space for them in my new room, I give Rosemary (the secretary) the $336 security deposit, and then I leave for campus. There I sign and scan the contracts, send them over for my dad (co-signer) to sign, bump into Diane, she gives me my office key and my MacBook Pro, I go back to the apartment, get my swimming stuff, I go swimming until 7PM, then I come back to the apartment, befriend my new roommate Paul, we talk for like 2 hours, and then we go grocery shopping at Geagle. We come back at midnight, I sleep.

Today: I get up at 10-11AM, I have oatmeal with a sliced banana for breakfast, I shower, I ride my bike to Kraynick's to go fix it. Since the problem with my bike was the brakes, I had to be careful while I rode. Once there, I spent about 3-4 hours fixing up and calibrating my brakes properly. One of the cables was veeery worn, so I had to replace it. I also replaced the back right arm thing that holds the actual brake pad in place. It cost me $5.35. As I had no cash, I rode out to the nearest ATM a block away to get $20. I did, I rode back, paid what I owed, and then rode back to campus. There, I slothed away on my Mac for about an hour, I went swimming, and then decided to grab some cash from the UC ATM to bay Paul back for the groceries. Once there, I realized I didn't have my debit card, and I concluded I must've left it at the ATM near Kraynick's. I called the PNC hotline, I put a temporary hold on it, and I rode my bike back to that ATM. Of course, it wasn't there anymore, and the branch beside it had moved. So I rode back to campus, chatted awhile, then came back to the apartment, and I just asked for a card replacement. No fee, so that's good :). And...... that's it for now.

Tomorrow: I wake up before 9AM, have breakfast, shower, go to PNC, withdraw a few dollars (including a few singles), ride to campus, get my MacBook Pro, meet a girl in Baker Hall at 10AM who's selling her laptop case for $2, see if it fits my MacBook, and buy it if it does. After that... other things, I guess.
