I feel like I've dropped off the face of the earth...
My concept of time is really strange here, but I feel really far away from everyone that is not in the DC metro area. I don't know if it's just been my mindset, that I haven't been able to really think about things that are happening outside of the city for any prolonged period of time. In Bloomington, I still always feel very connected to at least certain people that aren't there, but it's been really hard here. I think part of the problem is that I was really not happy for the first few weeks I was down here, so I spent a lot of time being depressed and selfish and unable to think past my own problems and while I'm a lot happier now, I haven't totally been able to break out of that mindset.
Hm.
In other news... I've been keeping pretty busy, doing tons of random stuff in the city (celebrating Bastille Day by making a plethora of random toasts to "Viva le France!" and having my first Dim Sum, or Chinese brunch), I've also started sewing again after a 2 month long hiatus, and I've been reading a lot. And I'm finally starting to make some of the plans that I've been saying I was going to make for the last month. I have a trip planned to go to the beach next weekend (the ocean!!! I'm seriously stoked about it) and I'm visiting an old friend from high school/junior high in Baltimore in Monday (Tracy). I finally feel like things are happening. And yet, I cannot WAIT to go back to Bloomington. I'll get to see people I miss like whoa, live in a town that suits me probably better than any place I've ever lived, set up my VERY OWN apartment, pick up my new kitty from my friend, go back to a relatively carefree existence (until finals week).... And not too long after I go back is Missy and Jon's wedding, which I am also looking forward to. Btw, I need to find someone to carpool with because if the wedding is where I think it is, that will be like an 8 hour drive from Indiana.
And now to get dressed so I can go to Sunday Afternoon Bottomless Mimosas with Esther. YES.
