take that woman on down to new orleans, new orleans
So things have been pretty crazy this past month..
between trip to Canada, pitchfork music festival, leaving bloomington packing, and trying to get settled in a new city.. it's been a ride..
I don't have the energy to say much right now, but hopefully updates will becoming more regularly.
I can say that I just uploaded a bunch of photos from my wild Canadian road trip to Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City to my flickr site at http://www.flickr.com/photos/tambourineilene so you should definitely check those out.
Here's a sneak peek:
My moods have been changing a lot this past week.. it hadn't sunk in that I was really really leaving Bloomington and my friends until the night before I left, late, before I went to bed. I'd said goodbye to Hannah after Mother Bear's and one last time at the Vid, and then she came up to my room a second time, with tears in her eyes to say goodbye a second time. And after she left it just really hit me. I've been close friends with Hannah since.. the 7th grade, and we haven't not been living near each other since then. There was Madrid, but I knew I was coming back. This is much more indefinite.. I don't know where I'll be after this.. it's all up in the air. So I broke down.. I'm going to miss all my friends very much, but hopefully I make some new ones here. I'm going to miss Bloomington very much, but hopefully I make New Orleans start to feel like home.. red lights strung about my room already have started to do the trick.. (However, the MASSIVE MASSIVE cockroach who probably ate birds that I saw in my bathroom a few nights ago does NOT)
This city is a lot to get used to.. but it's also pretty cool in lots of ways. There's just a lot of extra stuff to deal with that you're not used to dealing with when you move to a city that was harassed by a giant hurricane. It is nice being close to my boyfriend, though, (finally), after doing long distance for 9-12 months.
So I've mostly been acquainting myself with my surroundings and job searching.. I had a crazy interview today with a music legal firm for a receptionist position. I applied with the zoos. I have an interview with a vintage clothing store on Friday.. other possibilities are in the works as well. I know nothing I get right now will be permanent so I just want something that will bring in some bucks and maybe allow me to enjoy myself a bit too/meet people. Be my friend.
I'd like to write a long review of my Canadian trip.. and Pitchfork.. but that will be for another day.
It's quite odd to not be starting a new school year in the fall.. for the first time in probably 19 years.
more soon.
