Cautiously Optimistic
July 06, 2006 ( life )
I hate to break the general pattern of malaise of my blog of recent, but I ... I might be kinda happy right now. I'm done with school until August, getting moved in to my new place, and ... dunno, just a bit more cheerful.
But in the tradition of personal blogs, let's over-analyze! whee!!!
*I enjoyed the summer course, but it's nice to not be constantly be nose-in-book or writing, or worrying about those things. I'm reading for pleasure. It's nice. Next semester should be OK, as one course is an independent study, so it'll be a bit more structured towards exactly what I want, and I'm slowly figuring that want part out.
*My new house is interesting. Lots to keep me busy with, and good roommates interested in a communal situation, where we do home-improvement projects together and such. It's a beautiful old (late 1800s) house, with some definite problems, but it has a great vibe.
*Takoma is a great neighborhood. People are out and about walking dogs and kids, all the homes are turn-of-the-century with big yards and trees and anti-war protest signs in the windows. There are restaurants and coffee shops and vintage clothing stores and a big farmers market on Sunday. There's a food co-op and a Safeway both within an easy walk. I'm <5 minutes from the metro, and there are bus lines straight to Adams-Morgan.
*E and JP came down for the weekend of the 4th. Tho I was a bit frazzed with the move and grad-crowd plans, I got to spend some quality times with them, which always has a centering effect, reminding me that balance is within reach!
