10 Things I learned this week...

So its been my first "full" week that I've lived at my new place on my own and there are definitely new things I've learned and somethings that I knew would happen but realized...after actually living it...it sucks. LoL Here they are .

1. Do the dishes right away...or it'll crust and be harder -__-...eff
2. 50% of the time that you're at home will be spent cleaning (dishes, counter tops, rooms, closet, floors etc)
3. Having guests over is great! Cleaning after guests leave...not so great
4. It costs A LOT of money to fill a house...food, furniture, kitchenware, desk, chairs, etc
5. Waking up early to make breakfast is rough (thanks umma for doing it for 25 years)
6. Packing lunch to save cash is no bueno
7. Writing the checks for Mortgage, Condo Fees, and Utilities all in one sitting...much sadness
8. Taking out Recycling sucks
9. Taking out the Trash sucks even more
10. Playing Wii is fun, waking up next morning with sore muscles...not so fun.

Hahah. All in all although my list sounds so negative...I am glad to be on my own. Finally I feel like I am not taking things for granted. I always want to feel as if I'm working for what I am getting. Living at home I felt my mind and body so comfortable that I felt like a spoiled child. Now, doing things on my own and being my own "man" I feel sharper and more responsible. I hope God keeps teaching me discipline, organization, responsibility, and character through this process.
