Okay ya'll, I just got done reading Tristan's entry (yea, I'm a little behind) so here's the update. I just moved from Glendale to Playa Del Rey, hence I've been without internet for a few weeks. Ian and I are in this sweet little apartment with brand new everything (floors, microwave, stove, fridge, marble bathroom, granite countertop kitchen etc.) which is less than a mile from the beach. It's nice to be out of the Valley and down by the water, so we've been trying to hit the beach and the bike path as much as possible. Somehow it's never sunny down here though- not sure if it's the season or just the ocean. Regardless, it's been a nice change and it's our excuse to get out, get excercise, and get in better shape. Working 45 + hours a week at a stressful job doesn't help, but I got into UCLA (cross your fingers that everything transfers) so hopefully it'll get smoother come fall.
I'm really looking forward to getting back into the academic swing of things, since I've caught myself sounding like a Valley girl far too often. I miss learning and assigned readings and meeting people my age and frankly it's the one time in my life that I can go back without too much trouble. So let's hope. I'll also have more time for writing, which has been neglected lately. I think I need to give myself deadlines, but I'm also trying not to overload myself.
And that is pretty much it. I miss the Broomall gang and driving down dark roads with the windows open, playing music you can dance to. It is rarely dark here, and I miss staying up late to watch the moon.
