Ah, I see. School just had to come and take time from both of you. I'm sure you'll be looking forward to her next arrival. Ooh, nice. Did you get to the 200+ studs of water yet?
Glad to hear that things seem to be going well despite being busy. At least since your parents are a little closer it'll be easier to go through your childhood things. While I still have my childhood stuff, I haven't been able to open them up ever since I started working, but I'll also eventually bring it all to my place, I think. That'll be great having matching IKEA furniture, it might actually look like one of IKEA's showrooms.
Sounds wonderful! I hope you get the internship you're looking for! It's definitely a good start, and all of the organization will happen one step at a time. Glad to have you back. I've been pretty well too, though not as active now that I have bigger days at work, but I'm getting used to the schedule.
Next time I build, the 200+ studs will be the first thing I have to do. When NG visits, I have like all the flower sets waiting to be built, per her request. I also have Seinfeld, 2 UCS Batman, Bad Batch, and more...
Well, now that all my childhood things are PACKED due to the move (when I went back the other weekend I got one of my high school buddies to come over and help me pack and provide moral support ) it will be somewhat annoying to go through my childhood things. A lot of stuff (books, especially) could've been left behind but I didn't have the time to go through everything and make those judgements. I'm sure my parents will be just thrilled when I present to them all the stuff I no longer need after they moved it... but hey, they should've planned this in advanced and I would've weeded it out before grad school. Also, their new place is out in the country so I can't take public transit there as easily as I could to my childhood home, to which I could just take the train. Such is life.
How much space does your apartment have? I'm hoping and praying that I can maximize my space to fit all the LEGO down here, though it'll be an achievement if I can do it. There is a lot. Unless you buy all your furniture at once or have very little floorspace, there's always something new that can be bought. I should remember to snag a picture of my current IKEA bookshelf for you sometime.
Well, to be honest, I'll take whatever I can get on the internship front. I've been endeavoring to apply to a few on my own too, for practice at the very least.
What's your schedule looking like? A friend of mine from undergrad who also started full time this summer has 40 hours a week with every other Friday off and that's looking really appealing to me, given the grad school lifestyle.
Nice. Have fun distributing the water studs all around the ship evenly. Wonderful. Those flower sets will look incredible when they're built. That's a lot of sets, but I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun when you find time to build them.
Ah, I see. Definitely a lot of things to go through, but also a lot of things that are probably worth keeping if you like them. I still have all of my Thomas the Tank Engine toys as well since I still really like them, and I hope my future kids will like them too. Hehe, I guess your stuff will be in their hands now until you have enough space to get them back. That's unfortunate. Driving doesn't seem too bad, not really preferable. Do you have a car, or maybe you have car but don't use it often?
My apartment has quite a lot of space. Lots of space to move around and a bedroom that I've converted into the drying room for my laundry when it comes out of the washer. You do have a bigger LEGO collection than I do, so it will certainly be a daunting task. Hopefully there will be enough room. Yep, that's true. That'll be great. I can't wait to see how you've used it.
That'll be good, especially for practice. Definitely apply for the ones you like even if it feels early. Back when I was looking for jobs, I got interviews from a couple companies in July, but I submitted applications for them in February when they posted the job. Sometimes you never know when they're actually going to look through the applications and get back to you.
I also work 40 hours a week, but every weekday since we always have things to do. I've heard of a lot of different schedule ideas, like 10 hours a day but every Friday off, the one your friend has with every other Friday off, and other variations. They do seem pretty appealing, though I haven't tried any of those variations yet.

My hope is that I can shake the water studs into position easily enough once the bottle is closed.
My parents still have my Thomas the Tank Engine stuff, but I'd never let another child touch it due to the copious amounts of flaking lead paint. Not good.
And no, having a car in the city is too expensive relative to how much I would use it. I'm not the kind of person who likes going a lot of places, so a couple grand dropped on a garage and insurance is just a waste.
Do you not have a dryer? Here the laundry is in the basement, I considered in-unit laundry to be an unnecessary luxury. Yes, the LEGO collection moving will keep me occupied for years to come.
This past weekend I applied for an analytics internship with the local MLB team. I had to write a cover letter and answer some other miscellaneous questions. If it hadn't been something that I found super cool I don't think I could've soldiered through it, but after completing the process I can definitely say it was really good practice of writing a cover letter and thinking about the application process in ways I didn't necessarily do before.
As long as I don't have to work more than 40 hours a week (or if I do I better get overtime...) I'm happy with whatever. Hopefully my summer internship will have plenty of hours to keep me occupied, the only internship I've had before was 29.75 hours a week because apparently if I did 30+ hours a week they'd need to give me benefits. This was a government job, so unsurprising. Some weeks I'd work another job and get over 50 hours combined, but that was too much standing up for me after a while. Nice paychecks though.
Goodbye LMBs...
