Well, friends, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? I’d love to say that I’ve been busy spending my time being creative or looking for a “real” job or out in the sun adventuring, but sadly none of those things are true. I’ve been working as much as I can stand trying to save up for the big end-of-the-summer-move. Which is NOT going to be to Austin, TX as originally planned, but instead I’m shipping myself off to the Twin Cities, MN. I keep saying St. Paul because it’s easier, but Minneapolis is not out of the question.
As it stands right now, I’ll be cleaning out my savings to pay for the moving truck. Luckily, rent out there is MUCH more reasonable than here (though I’m sure that’s all relative to cost-of-living figures).
I’ve been really lazy lately, too. I spend my days off in bed for as long as I can, and I generally don’t fold my laundry until I can’t stand the state of my bedroom (like today, for instance). I DO have a “new” N64 game to occupy my I-don’t-wanna-time, so that’s nice. I’ve been trying to stay more active and work out more frequently. I’ve taken to riding my bike to work when the return time makes it logical to do so, but my eating habits are faltering some.
I’m sort of in limbo right now. Everytime I get the ambition to pickup a newspaper at work and look for jobs, it takes me a minute to realize that I won’t be here in two months. This transition is incredibly exciting, just sort of surreal. It’s kind of how I felt when I threw logic to the wind and moved to Boston four years ago.
Balls-to-the-wall life changing. It’s exhilirating.
