Case of the Mondays, maybe?

I woke up this morning and realized that this is the last Monday (ever!) I will be waking up in my current place in Irvine. My roomies and I are moving this weekend and going our separate ways.

It's a bittersweet feeling as this was my very first venture to living on my own. Granted, my friends and family for the most part, live within a 50-mile radius, but this place was my first attempt on paying rent, buying my own groceries, and basically living away from the comfort of my parent's house. It's been a good experience - cheap rent, sweet pad and a ten-minute work commute. It wasn't always perfect, and there were times when I didn't want to deal with my landlord or roomie issues, but I learned a lot in the past 18 months. As a first experience, it's been good.

I used to say that every little bit of change makes the next change a little bit easier. I'm starting to think that maybe that's not completely accurate. I think every little bit of change can make you a stronger person who learn how to deal with change, but that doesn't necessarily mean change gets any easier.

In any case, I hope I made the right choice for my new place. I'm excited and apprehensive at the same time. Guess we'll see how it turns out.
