And things are definitely calmer. But what a 4 weeks it has been!
I had a kick-ass goodbye party.
I got all of the stuff moved out of my Austin apartment.
My mom and I successfully made the drive - with cat.
I'm more or less settled - at least until September.
I started an internship that I think will be really interesting and useful - to me, to the non-profit I am working at, potentially to society. Yeah, I went there.
For one month, that's a lot of stuff! And, at the same time, I'm trying to enjoy every minute of living in San Francisco. I'm trying not to think about what happens when the internship ends in August. Because things do have a way of working themselves out.
For the time being I want to work hard during the day; work hard SOME nights (I do have comps to prepare for after all); and play hard during the other times. Well, and sleep hard. I do love to sleep. I want to run more, cook more (I have to find some way to mitigate the fact that merely existing in this city is extremely cost prohibitive), and hike more - who knew that hiking was so awesome? And, if hiking up things, a very good workout (sore gluts, I am looking at you)! This city, and the surrounding areas, have so much to offer in terms of exploration and I don't want to miss out because who knows how long I will be here!
Life is in major flux. Embrace it or freak out. And I'm really tired of freaking out.
