Yay for getting the visa! That is a HUGE thing to tick off your list. Mine for Canada came about 2 days before I was due to fly out.
I'm sure a combo of the visa, student forms and flight tickets will get you out of jury duty. And you can probably register to vote AFTER you move.
Oh, I'm watching the Olympics, wish I was listening to Les Miz and, also, frankly, a little jealous of your busy-ness because it leads to an amazing adventure that I cannot wait to read about. Not so jealous of the jury duty form.
Yes, why are you painting your apartment? Is this one of those weird LA things (the other being apartments that come without refridgerators)?
Yeah, I've never painted an apartment before moving out. I think the landlord is required to here, unless you've painted some dark dark color that would take 8 coats to cover.
Congrats on all the big long list of what you have gotten done! That's awesome!
Cath, oh my gosh, if I had had to wait until 2 days before I was due to leave, I would be a total wreck!!
GB, wait, what? You don't ADORE jury duty? But it's SO MUCH FUN!!
Jam, I painted my apartment when I moved in, (turquoise and brown accent wall and it is sooooooo pretty) so I have to repaint it back. Which sucks because honestly the apartment looks better now and I bet the next residents would prefer it to boring old white.
Beany, you are right about the fridge situation. It's very weird. Also now I have to sell my damn fridge. Maybe the apartment will agree to buy it from me but I doubt it.
Allie, thanks!
You've been busy! Maybe you'll get to sleep next month.
I don't remember having to paint my apartment and I lived in several throughout LA. But I did get a jury summons too on Friday.
