Almost Like Home

I've almost have my new apartment set up, and it has been quite the experience doing so. The other day I was upset, as I had to walk a few blocks to my old apartment for a shower. Well, on the way there, I passed a man on the street who was washing himself from a basin of water behind a grocery store. And if that wasn't humbling enough, I was also debating the fact I had to walk to campus to use a toilet, when I saw a mother holding her young child in her arms so he could relieve himself on the side of the road. A touching, yet a bit disturbing, display of love.

Tomorrow is a day off, and I think a good chunk will be spent hanging things on walls, setting up my office area, and cleaning the mess. Yippie.
