momentous occasion!
I like the expression "momentous occasion" almost as much as I like adding "-tastic" to the end of my words. And there have indeed been some over the past few weeks. I have internet at my house! Also, I turned 23. I don't really like the way 23 sounds. Sounds a lot older than 22. Or maybe that's just me. I guess it is true that birthdays aren't as fun after 21. I mean, actually my birthday was really fun. My sister was here visiting, and my friends are awesome, and so my birthday was fun. It was more like a birthday week, really. Anything with backpacking, free sushi, picnics in the Botanic Gardens, karaoke, Jason's deli, and awesome people is always fun. Just being older isn't as fun. But whatever, because I am now 23, I have internet. My parents got it for me as a present for my birthday. So it all works out in the end.
Another momentous yet sad occasion is that yesterday was my last official day of AmeriCorps. I'm sort of glad to be finished just in the sense that now I will have free time to relax a little and get my shit together before going back to school. It's been a little hectic working so many double shift days. But I am really going to miss my job and my clients and co-workers. A lot of my co-workers are also my close friends, but some of them aren't and I hope to still keep in touch with them. I hate goodbyes. Sophie, my roommate and one of my best friends here, left Thursday morning. I miss her so much already. It's fuckin sad and empty in my apartment with just me. Meridian, my new roommate, doesn't move in until September 1st. But the good thing is that I will have plenty of space for people crashing here and/or staying over. I know for sure my mom will be out here visiting this month, and hopefully Hieu will get a chance to come visit, too! So anyone else thinking of coming to Denver, August is the time, there are free, spacious accomodations available here on Vine Street!
But yeah, things are good with me right now. I'm really excited about going back to school. I don't think I would have felt the same way if I hadn't taken this year off. Now that I have a minute to breathe, I have been thinking a lot. That's the way it is, I don't spend as much time pondering... well, anything, when I'm so busy all the time. But, for example, tonight I am just by myself. So that means I have a lot of time to think about things in my own head. Which is usually something that bothers me and makes me lonely. But I've decided that maybe it's ok. It's good to have time to process things.
Another thing that I used to hate, I used to think it was terrible, it meant I was a loser, it meant I had no friends, if I was not out doing something with someone on a Saturday night. But I think tonight it's all right. Maybe it is a little lonely, but it's ok, I might go read my book that I haven't picked up for a month, or make myself a smoothie, or go sit outside on the patio. It has taken me 23 years to get to that point. I think it's better not to be with the people you love all the time, because it makes you appreciate them more if you have to miss them sometimes.
Damn, look at me, always getting all philosophical in here when I actually bother to write something. Anyway, hope things are good with everyone out in the blogosphere, as my friend calls it. And come visit me! :0)
