One which allows me to see exactly what the date is?
I
should have written a blog much sooner than now, and I want to start
off by apologizing for letting myself get so busy that I could not do
something that is so important to me: keeping in touch with everyone at
home! I'm sorry.
Life
in Seattle is everything I wanted it to be, perhaps more. I know that
it seems silly, but my life has changed drastically in just two short
months - yes, it really has been just two, though I'm sure I can think
of a few people who feel differently (M&D&N, PIC, Best,
Roommate...). I miss SOOOO many people at home.
I
have never been more excited and scared about something in my life. I
bet all of my happiness and my future on the gut feeling I'd had about
AIS. It was definitely a gamble for which I'm incredibly thankful to
have taken. I've not felt this way about my education since I left high
school. I actually look forward to getting up for class - even on 7:30
days! I find my classes pleasantly challenging, constantly asking me
think creatively and outside the box. It's so inspiring that I can't
possibly describe the experience! Transferring was probably one of the
better decisions I've made in quite sometime.
As
far as my job, it's agreeable. I'm working in Sales, and while I do
possess a considerable talent for it, I'm finding that I wish more and
more for a job that will give me experience for my future career. It's
fine for the time being, but I'm making sure to keep my eyes open for
better oppurtunities.
Roommate...Oh
that situation, not so agreeable. How do I put this? I don't really see
us being in the apartment together much longer, simply because our
schedules do not work well together, and we have different ideas about
exactly what "neat & tidy" mean. It's difficult for someone so
extraverted, personable, organized-bordering-on-perfectionistic and
friendly, like myself, to live with someone quite the opposite. It will
hopefully be ameliorated soon. *Crosses fingers*
Social
Life aka Friends. That is quite a glorious area of my life as well.
I've met lots of people in various places. Coffeehouses,
people who live on my floor/building, classmates, and co-workers. Chris
and Corey are probably the closest. Craigslist/MySpace/Facebook weren't
too bad with this either, though admittedly, probably not the best
regarding safety. (Don't worry Mom! I was CAREFUL! See <-- STILL
ALIVE AND WELL!!!) I'm sure that I don't even have to mention the great
surprise that everyone went through regarding William. He makes me
smile. Enough said. I don't want to make anyone throw up in their
mouths or anything.
I'm
looking forward to the end of my FIRST QUARTER, which will be here in 2
weeks! Hooray for the love of learning and success! Hoping for the
Dean's List...But not only that, PIC is coming to see me right around
Mom's birthday, 9/25 to be exact! She'll be here for a week, and we
plan on going to L.A. for at least a few days. If not, we'll paint
Seattle red instead. We're pretty good at that...what with being PICs
and all. After she visits, Fall Quarter starts on 10/6 and the week
later, Roommate will be coming for the weekend! It's going to be nice
to have friends from home to take around the city I've grown to love so
much.
That's about it for now, and I promise to update more often!
