I'm finally updating
Ok, so everyone keeps yelling at me for not updating and for being super bad at staying in touch. And I apologize greatly to everyone. I don't know why it's so hard for me to keep in touch with everyone. I think that I'm afraid that I'll get sad about being in Washington if I think about everyone I left behind. It's not that I'm not happy (I think this was definitely the right decision, I am very happy here), but I do miss everyone and I don't really have any friends here. Mostly it's because I still don't have a job. Granted, I'm not looking as diligently as I should be. I don't know if I really WANT a job, due to the fact that I still don't know what I want to do. But I need to find something to do until that point. Part of the problem is that MHC ruined me for a lot of job opportunities. Not only do I have no skills, but they also taught me that nothing is good enough unless I am a doctor, lawyer, or teacher. None of which I have the skills to become.
But let's talk about happy things.
I have the cutest kitten in the world. She's passed the scratching/biting stage (well, almost), and is turning into a fairly mellow cat. I suppose I can't really say that yet, but she's getting there. And I love her tons. I never thought I would ever be a cat person, but here I am. I still miss having a dog around, but Echo is helping me get past that.
I love Washington. I know that I will always be a Vermont snob, and nothing will ever be able to compare, but Washington is coming up with a close second. It's so beautiful here, with the towering mountains every way you turn. The landscape is much more like Vermont than I imagined before I came out here. And it's a nice balance of city and country (a balance that VT lacked). We're only twenty minutes outside of Seattle, but we're also just minutes away from the middle of nowhere. This weekend we got completely lost, and somehow ended up in the middle of farming country (Kevin got uneasy, I felt at home), and came upon this big farm with a huge corn maze. Yay for unexpected adventures!
I know that this does not make up for how lacking I have been in communication, but I promise to try to be better. I'll try to update more often so that you all can stalk me more easily ;)
I love you all and miss you tons!
