Sundays need to stop being movie marathon days

Since I've been to New York, I have made every single Sunday a movie marathon day. Today, I will have watched 3 new movies, and I've crushed as much as 5 movies in one of these marathon sessions.

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP.

Literally what I've been doing all day, sans the beer.
I have been using the excuse "I'm just adjusting to working" for the past month, but I've decided that the movie marathons need to end now! So, world, you have the official declaration: the movie I'm watching now, "This Is 40", will be my LAST movie of the Sunday movie series!!

From this point on, I will use Sundays to pursue things on my Summer Bucket List. The next 2 weekends I will be out of town and traveling back so those Sundays are washes, but after that, I will be an active member of society. NOT a young working degenerate that just leaves her apartment to pick up food.

WOO!

Sharing a bathroom: Real World Edition

Every weekday morning, my alarm rings at 6:30am. Why do I get up so early? Because that is the only time I know I will be able to get into the bathroom to shower. I usually shower and then nap for an extra 30 minutes and then get ready for my day at around 7:30.
How SICK would it be to have this shower?!
See, that's one thing that they do not warn you about the real world - when everyone you're living with has similar schedules, it is CRUCIAL that you make sure you know how to share the bathroom! My apartment has not created a solid schedule, and this has been slightly problematic.

Before I decided to begin my routine at 6:30, there were some days when I couldn't get into the bathroom when I ideally wanted to. I would be sitting in my room, unable to get ready or do basically anything because the first thing that I needed to do was get into the shower!!! What a crappy way to start off your day, worrying about when you are going to be able to clean yourself. UGH, NOT worth the worry! (Sidenote: even yesterday, A SATURDAY, I needed to shower before getting ready to meet my future roommate for brunch and my roommate was using the bathroom at the exact time I needed it! This is not an ideal situation.)

So basically, I think that no more than 2 people should be allowed to share a bathroom in the real world. College is a different ball game with everyone's weird schedules so I never ran into problems at school, but this is just madness!

Really looking forward to moving in with my friend in September :)
