Moving to....nowhere?

Part of the motivational email I received from Bally Total Fitness this morning:

Have you ever looked at the difference between the word "try" and "triumph"? If not, now's the time. The difference is a mere "umph"....

It's so ridiculous that it made me laugh out loud at work.

This is indeed the month of change. I talked to my landlord today and since we're transferring apartments, we're supposed to be packed up and living out of boxes by Friday. Unfortunately, she isn't sure when our new apartment will be ready, so I guess I will be in limbo till probably next Tuesday. Although DTE Energy is very accomodating to our "situation," Comcast is less helpful. We may be without Internet for a few weeks.

Yesterday was a nice day. I worked, packed, took a two hour break to walk around Main Street and windowshop. Although I like moving, I really despise the packing part of it.

I have decided to end my month-long courtship with the School of Public Health. 4 weeks ago I decided to apply for the MPH program in Nutrition, 3 weeks ago I turned in my application, last week I got accepted. This week I'm going to reject the program. It wasn't a bad experience. It helped me to think seriously about the field I'm going into as well as why I was studying Psychology rather than Dietetics. Now I'm just looking forward to a quiet two years in Ann Arbor working and hanging out.

After a month of being very antisocial at work, I decided to talk to people again.

Finally, students are moving back to Ann Arbor soon. It's so strange realizing that I'll be heavily involved with the campus ministry in both IV and URC yet I'm so disconnected with the actual student life. Still, I'm finally beginning to feel excitement about it rather than dread.
