The Approved Apartment (that we didn't apply for)

I had a hard time waking up this morning, but I got to work on time. I brought my lunch this time, but forgot my water. Luckily I found out that we have a water jug in the main office. I got a good amount of work done again and had to delve out tasks for a new research assistant. This weekend I plan on coming up with a systematized way of organizing all the data. I think this is important before we move forward with data collection, that way we stay consistent, efficient and accurate with our research.

Found out that the manageent company for apartment we applied for has yet to respond to our offer. So the real estate guy we're working with applied us to another apartment down the street and we got approved. I'm on my way to go see it. Meeting Alex there. I hope it's amazing that way we can move right away!

Yesterday I noticed that most younger public transportation passengers tend to have head phones on. Here I am on a subway train typing on my phone.. blogging. It's interesting to observe this type of behavior. I'm comfortable sitting on the train not doing anything linked to the outside world, but I do have to find something somewhat produtive or I feel wasteful. I usually take this travel time to work out my schedule or blog. I use to think of my to do lists in my head while I drove in Cali, so I feel like this is definitely a benefit. Although, I am spending double the time to get to work and such.

So we saw the apartment and it was practically perfect! We will sign the lease on Tuesday and then it's ours! It's almost 100% so I'm excited!
