An Innocent Life #10: I Have An Apartment!

Hello there! I am officially alive, and ready to party. Somewhere.

I have been waiting all May for Outrun The Moon by Stacey Lee. Mom was really surprised and happy by how the author is Chinese.

I'm also reading A Court of Thorns and Roses because I am tired of being left in the dark as to everything that's going on! Sure, some may say that I'm better off being ignorant, but ah well. I bought it such a long time ago, might as well get to it now! (But let's be honest, probably won't get to ACOMAF until 2018)

I just came back from getting an apartment for grad school in North Carolina!

So much room in my little apartment! Everyone should come visit me, ahahah.

Just kidding. But I seriously did get a really nice apartment, which came with a student discount (woo!) so I was pretty lucky. And the unit itself is completely renovated and new, honestly I'm wondering what exactly the catch is. I guess I'll find that out in August haha.

But for now, I'm bumming out at my parents'. Reading, playing video games, doing absolutely nothing until I have to. BE JEALOUS.

I think that's all. Hope your week has been going great!

Ohhh congrats on the apartment. IT IS SMALL AND COSY AND AT LEAST YOU WON'T HAVE TO SWEET THE FLOOR???? I hope you have a secondary stick-house for your books though. ahem.
(Just kidding.😂 Congrats on the ACTUAL apartment too!)
AND YAY FOR OUTRUN THE MOON!!! I really want to buy that one but I'm a wimp and am waiting to see some good reviews. ;D

I feel like you lied about that spare room ;) Also, I can see your mom at bookish events now, going with you and stalking Stacey bwhaha. But she should read it, I think she'd enjoy it. It's very culturally driven, and as far as I can tell (you know, not being Chinese or from the early 20th century) it seems incredibly well done. You haven't read it yet, have you? You've been reading so much lately, frankly you're difficult to keep up with.

I want to start ACOMAF... but let's be real, the thing is HUGE. It and Queen of Shadows take up half a shelf on my bookcase! That's an exaggeration, but can someone petition SJM (those are my initials also, so please don't petition me by accident) to like... calm down with the word count? These books are hazardous.

I AM jealous about getting to bum out at your parents' place haha! Congrats on the new apartment, it looks fantastic. I mean I guess I'd buy a tarp in case it rains, but otherwise A+. :D

I have read this post twice now, I can't believe I keep forgetting to leave a comment (that is so typical of me though).
I hope there is no catch on your new apartment. Someone as sweet as you deserves a great place. Congratulations!

Sweeeet! A new apartment and one not made of sticks is always a bonus. You just never know when a wolf will swing by and try to blow your house down. Are you taking your furbaby with you too? It sounds fabulous Val. Make sure you invest in a few bottles of stain remover before you move in too, if you're anything like me then people verses new carpet always ends in disaster. Looking forward to seeing you move in! <3
