::A Geek in Korea::

There is a difference between the concept of "moving in" and being "moved in". We’ve made the move. I am typing this on my computer in my new "computer room" in the new apartment. My internet connection has been upgraded to a near comical speed. I can down download an entire DVD in the span of two minutes or less as long as the source is located in Korea. Otherwise the speed is just "really really fast". All this for around ~30,000 won (~$30 dollars). Awesome.

The move was entirely too stressful. We had been packing for the last few days, but when the men came to take our stuff away, we just kept piling things in boxes as they took it out the door. Eventually we loaded up two trucks, which is definately proof that I have too much stuff. When I moved to that apartment originally I was at only "one truck and stack it to dangerous heights" level.With my new furniture, I’m probably close to four trucks worth of stuff easily.

Things just kept arriving all day, and I couldn’t leave the apartment for any amount of extended time. I was too busy anyway, putting away everything we own. At least we got some clear weather. I spent the day picking up boxes, moving boxes, taking things out of boxes, cleaning up, and generally not resting for a single second. Only now, 16 hours later, have I had a chance to sit down and rest for a significant amount of time.

Three things got damaged. Our picture wall partition fell off a truck and got cracked. My new desk’s glass got broken after the movers left, and just now as I was typing this post one of the arms on my good chair broke. Damn. Anyway, I have tomorrow to clean up what I haven’t put away today, catch up on sleep, and generally spend my time scrubbing, washing, and wishing I didn’t have so much stuff to wash and scrub. Both of us are super stressed out from a long day, and we are at each other’s throats at the moment. I just want to take a long nap on my new couch and forget that this move ever happened.
