I'm not a patient person

I've spent the past 10 days hanging out - mostly at the beach. My friends have been at work during the day, so what else was I going to do? The first day, it was amazing. Sun, sand, ocean. What else could you ask for? The second day, it still felt pretty good. But soon, it became routine. I would be stretched out at the beach, trying to read, occasionally jumping into the waves, walking up and down the beach - bored and anxious at the same time. I may have been able to enjoy it more if all the immigration stuff had been figured out (it still hasn't been). Yes, yes, I know, don't worry about things you can't influence. But we all know that immigration stuff freaks me out. I tried not to think about it, but I couldn't help the anxious, restless feeling. So relaxing at the beach just wasn't really working for me.

So yesterday, I came up with a plan. I need to be in the mid-west on July 17 for a wedding. Yes, I could hang around here and wait to hear more about this immigration stuff - driving to the mid-west for the wedding and then coming back - but it seems to make more sense to just get my stuff now and start the move. The rent on my storage unit is due on the 15th anyway; so why not move now and then just get a storage unit close to my new school. My car insurance also expires in a week; great opportunity to just get a new insurance in the state I'm moving to. And besides, at least I'll be doing something instead of just waiting.

The plan is to get a U-Haul trailer on Monday, pack that day, then leave on Tuesday. I should get to my new school on Thursday. I'll put stuff in my new storage unit, run some errands and in the evening, I'll be heading out again. There's a concert I'm hoping to catch on the way to the wedding. You know - me and concerts - haha. I haven't been to one since I saw Pink & One Republic in Austria over a month ago. I'm going through total concert withdrawal. Haha.

Today was a pretty productive day. I reserved the U-Haul trailer, reserved a storage unit near my new school, got my hair done, had an oil change done for my car (= my home for the next few days/weeks), bought a wedding present for my friend and got some car insurance quotes. It felt nice to be "busy" and "productive" after such a long time of doing nothing. And I'm kind of excited to start a new roadtrip/adventure on Tuesday.
