{personal} around the apartment

I've been in San Francisco a little over two weeks now and have yet to take any pictures other than these few around the apartment. I'm not sure what it says about me as a photographer, but sometimes I just don't want to lug a camera around and just want to see things without looking through a lens. I also think I'm psyching myself out, thus taking my time in getting used to things and feeling comfortable. I have yet to take the bus by myself without Sean (something I am definitely doing this week). I have yet to even cross the street and explore the beach that's practically right outside my window! I'm not sure if I've just been scared or lazy and letting all of that get the better of me... but it's something I need to get over. Stat! I need to start thinking of this place as my home rather than this scary new place where everything and everyone is completely different.

So, my goals for this week:

1. Take the bus (by myself) to the DMV to get my California drivers license
2. Take the free shuttle downtown (and go shopping for a pretty scarf or two)
3. Go to the beach and take pictures

On another note: I love our tiny apartment (that we share with two other people). We have lots of big windows that let in the most perfect light. The walls are white and the floors are wood and it's exactly what I hoped for. We're scarce on furniture, though the dressers, night stands and desk that I ordered from IKEA arrived yesterday. I can't wait to finally decorate and organize and start making this place look like home!

PS. Yes, those are LEGO salt and pepper shakers in the bottom photo. Be jealous!

PPS. I also just realized that everything you see in these photos: the pillows, the bedding, the glass bottles and the ceramic jar are all from IKEA. Obsessed much?
