What I've learned from a week as a pre-adult

This morning I woke up precisely too late, then had a mug of cheerios (the bowls were all dirty) as I flipped through my syllabi and kind of wrote deadlines in my planner. Then my roomie and I grabbed our laptops and trudged out in the rain to the center of our apartment complex to write with a friend of ours. After helping my roomie slice a 15 page script down to 10 pages and finishing up my own script when return to our apartment in torrential rain. The weather here has been extermely strange, it's like LA thinks that because Haiti has suffered earthquakes (a regular occurrence for LA) that LA must now suffer monsoon conditions. Crazy.

I got soaked going to class this afternoon but I was surprisingly dry by the time class was done. And I walked in the door to the wonderful smell of my chili cooking in my crockpot. Mmm, my mom was so right to buy me that. I put the ingredients in this morning and voila! It was ready for me at dinner time. That's one of the main things I have been very impressed to learn living as a "pre-adult", I am a pretty dang good cook. : )

Furthermore, I'd better get a laundry schedule in gear and figure out some kind of system to go to bed earlier and get up earlier because otherwise when my internship begins it'll be a shock to my sleeping habits. Speaking of, I'm going to do my homework now so that I can hit the hay early.


This sign made me laugh. "Please" don't play with the cars? As if the "please" is iffy? Oh LA.
