Right now Matt and I are in the middle of moving out of our less than comfortable Oakland apartment. We are moving into my mom's house in Evans City for a month before we leave. I have not lived at home since I was 18 so this should be an interesting experiment.
Yesterday was wonderfully stressful for us. My poor little Honda Civic quit on us when taking a load of boxes from our old apartment to my brothers new apartment, leaving us carless in the middle of moving. I just wanted the Civic to last until we left for Ireland :( Car troubles aside, we were able to move most of our boxes into my mom's place with the help of my parents.
Also yesterday, I had my last tutoring session with my Japanese student Yoko. I had been tutoring English as a Second Language for the last seven months in Oakland as a volunteer with the Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council. I am very much going to miss meeting with Yoko and being a tutor. It was such a rewarding experience and I was so glad to be able to help someone learn.
I also had to give my cat away yesterday. He just went to Matt's family, so I know he is in good hands and I will be able to see him often before we leave. BAMF was the best cat and I am going to miss him so much! I am glad to have him go to Matt's family though.
Matt's dad is coming to Oakand tonight to help us move the rest of our things and I will never have to live in Oakland again. It's an odd thought. I have lived in Oakland for four years but I am very ready to move on. And of course, it means we have just one month left before we board the plane to Dublin!!
