I don't know the best way to go about this, so I figure that I will begin recaps by week of my fun adventure away from real life. It will make for many recaps, but that's a good thing, seeing as though it would take far too long to do it all in one post. Let the fun begin!
March 1-13th: (okay, so I'm deviating from the weekly format right off the bat)
- Caught a cold that started on my last day of work. Lasted for probably four or five days and really put a damper on my packing progress on the apartment.
- My brother arrived in Chicago with a couple of his friends. We hung out at cheap restaurants, listened to music, and watched bad TV. It seems like something else was going on at this time for me, but I can't remember what.
- Enlisted my brother's help to finish up the packing. It went smoothly at the beginning, but then I was up far too late packing the kitchen. I still think that I have too many belongings. I also had to send my brother on two trips to buy packing tape, and I almost ran out of boxes. My favorite box (and obviously last packed box) is labeled "X-treme miscellany". I opened it up yesterday and found shampoo, baking pans, the game of Life, a bag, coasters, and a few more random items.
- Moved all of my belongings into my friend's basement. I think it only took us about 2.5-3 hours. Amazing!
- Threw an excellent going away bash for myself at a bowling alley. Lots of people showed up, we drank plenty, and bowled a lot. I built a pyramid out of the beer cans that I was consuming. I also wore my Big Lebowski t-shirt in honor of bowling, and a few people actually caught the reference. I love it when that happens.
- Ate my annual St. Patty's Day dinner of corned beef and cabbage a week early.
- Left for good old Dublin, Ireland, still scared about what I was about to do...
