Recent highlights

Dear Srav,
This blog post goes out to you, per your request. I hope to keep it updated more regularly?? We'll see. Right now I don't have internet at my new apartment - I am currently in a coffee shop.

New things in my life to share with you:

-NEW APARTMENT!!!! Moved to a new apartment, and I really love it! I have to take a tip, though, from my NYC-living friends about storage. It is smaller than our old place, but honestly a perfect size for the two of us. Selling/sold some furniture, bought some replacement furniture. Still need kitchen chairs and an AC.

-School's out!!!! Feels so good to say that. It seemed like this would never happen, but here is summer vacation! I control the pace and activities of my day. Wonderful. Though I'll admit I don't like being alone most of the time (missing my roommate - all my previous roommates!) already. Living in boxes, so there is plenty to do around the house, and I have a load of articles I want to read.... somewhere.

-I got a season pass to this local lake (really about 45 min drive from home). They have a trail and bbqs and camping (really like a field of tents, not in the woods), and a lake with sand and swimming. It's as close to the beach as I can get, and I've already gone 3 times in like a few weeks. Four times and it pays for the pass, so I am pumped to go back frequently.

-I started running. UGH!!! In the spring, I bought running shoes and started to go with Kevin (with a goal of running 3 times a week.... but it was more like 1-2 in reality). Anyway, I go now and then, and I just want to do regular exercise.... they say it is good for you. Good and actually required for a healthy lifestyle, so that is my only reason. I don't enjoy it. Just for like 20 minutes of continuous movement. Nothing big, please!

Those are my highlights. I'll make a video of my new apartment soon and show some of my favorite people - once there is a better box to cleanliness ratio, of course!

PEACE
