mostly looking forward
Hmmm, haven't written in here for a while, eh? I am pretty sure the only thing that's "happened" since I last wrote was my weekend in Boston last weekend. Which was SO great, and I will get around to a journal about that soon--and I'm not just sayin' that, only to forget later, 'cause I already have notes typed up for it. I just need to be in the right mood to actually make coherent sentences out of those. I posted some photos on flickr, but they are just the meet and greet ones I got on my camera... the other gals have other fun photos I will be yoinking when I get around to the journal... anyway. The bottom line is that it was a great time!--I miss Lal, Shayna, and Denee already... not to mention Boston itself. Man, I love Boston. I will probably end up living there someday, though I am hoping to go somewhere farther away and more drastically different for my next big move (after NH). :) Sounds like the other girls want to come back sometime this summer/fall, so I won't have to be TOO patient for next time. ;)
Meanwhile, I am getting restless, knowing I have so little time left before I move back to NH. It looks like I'll be moving out Memorial Day weekend (with the help of my parents and a U-Haul), which is roughly 8 weeks. 8 Thursdays to get my ass back to Lena's--I know I have been saying for months that I need to get back there regularly before I go, but now I REALLY need to. I will definitely regret it if I lose my chance to spend time there (and maybe at some other local places, see my friends' shows) before I move.
But even though it'll be sad to not have the music scene and my friends here around (even though I haven't been seeing much of them lately), at the same time I am really pretty ready to move. I think I have NY-itis, which is like another form of senioritis. I need a change--which will in turn be a transition for a bigger, cooler change.
[lists, in no particular order! And then I have to do the dishes I have been avoiding all day, hehe.]
I'll miss:
-having my own place, set up and organized exactly how I like it
-my job and boss--I'll still do piano work after this, but I lucked out with a laid-back atmosphere and easygoing boss here
-the music scene and my musician friends
-being able to shower whenever I want, even if it's 2am
-being 15 minutes from anything I could ever need as far as shopping goes
-the lake (and geese!) behind my apartment
-Jimmy's pizza, and the local wine/liquor shop
-WAMC (local public radio)
I will NOT miss:
-washing every single dish/glass/fork by hand
-my neighbors upstairs that have scary fights
-my commute to/from work
-going to the laundromat (although I WILL miss being able to do 7 loads of laundry at once)
-being alone all the time, including much of the time at work, and for meals
Looking forward to:
-hanging out with my parents (yes, really)
-not paying rent/bills for a while
-hanging out with Michelle (friend from high school), maybe others? Not sure who still lives there
-having a pool and a cool cellar over the summer
-being directly in the mountains again... hiking?!
-seeing how our 4 cats get along, heh heh
-tagging along when my parents visit family, maybe for a vacation or two
-possibly piano/harp lessons with my old teachers?
-being around to see concerts/plays at my old high school (and visiting my HS music teacher)
-having an acoustic piano in the house
-having free time to work on projects and my piano tech course
-Bill and Bob's roast beef! mmmmm
