There have been a lot of changes since I last write. One, being the biggest is I am finally out of my room with Amanda. I got tired of dealing with her, and her parading in her underwear. I filled out a form for a room transfer after talking to Jason (my RA) and Mel (the complex director). They told me I have grounds to move and there should be no problems doing so. Well there one problem, I wanted to stay in my building and hall since I know everyone so well. They were able to offer me the new room if I found someone to move with me. I was not sure what I was going to do, but luckily Lane was willing to do so.
We found out yesterday that the requests were accepted and as soon as I could I got the new key so I could move in right away. It took me probably a little over an hour to get all my things into the new room and another hour or so to get everything situated. I have a loft bed, which means it's higher off the ground, but not as high as my bed at UA. It is like 3 and half feet off the floor I'd guess. This also means I have more room for storage above the bed and below. I will try to put up pictures later.
Everyone who I am friends with here in Clark was so happy that I was able to get out of that room. I no longer have to have people tell me they are sorry or ask if I am okay after they hear who my roommate is. Some people are unsure about Lane, since she has a few things that get on people's nerves, but she is easier to deal with.
The second change is that I am no longer going anywhere for Thanksgiving. I was suppose to go to Canada, Victoria actually, but it was too pricey so I know am stuck in Eugene all alone on Thursday afternoon and evening. I guess it is okay and I'll be fine, but I was pretty upset, because both the room issue and the canceled trip came up in the same day. Everyone is going somewhere, and I am stuck here. I did some shopping for food and bought a Tofurky dinner, but I have no fridge to put it in so I hope it is okay. I am going to try to find some way of keeping it cool until Thursday and I do not have a stove to cook it in, so that will be interesting. My food may not taste good and I will be all alone, but I will do what I can to make the best of it.
It sucks though because this is the first Thanksgiving that I will not celebrate at all with family. Usually I have someone to be with, but not this year. At least I will be home for Christmas, that would really suck if I was gone for both holidays. I actually was crying several times because of it and once in front of a friend, which I had doing because I hate crying in front of people.
Another change that I almost forgot about was going vegan. I was getting pretty ill off of dairy again and I really should not be eating it. So I have been doing that for a few days, but the vegan options here suck. Most of the time nothing is label or if it is, it is only vegetarian. I have decided that next two terms I am going to lower my meal points and try to buy food from the vegan place, which my points don't work for. I also might buy food from Trader Joe's or other places if we get a fridge.
Now I am tried and need to go to bed. Night
