My first week of work was great, i love my job. Everyone I work with is really nice. I've learned more in a week at work than I did in a single class for a semester I think. The only down side to it all is now living in Maryland, in little quaint Easton. Its a beautiful little down but its VERY small, I've met a few of my neighbors but right now it just doesn't feel right. I feel like a fish out of water here, very awkward. I miss the city, the noise, the lights, the people, all of it.

I know I'll eventually adjust, its just going to take time and an effort of being happy. Its also really hard starting over again with nothing, limited furniture, appliances, clothes, etc. It'll be ok, I just need to keep telling myself that until it happens and I truly believe it.

My company's lease is up in August at which time (i'm under the assumption I will still be there of course) they will be relocating to a bigger building. From what I've gathered so far these a pull to go back towards Annapolis by the younger staff and to stay local by the older. The idea of more urban location is sooo appealing to me. I need to keep my ears open a bit more.

There is also a good chance I'll get to go to Denver this winter and Orange County, my boss has already done more for me than i think most people get when they start their first job. He's essentially given me clearance to ask for whatever I need and to learn whatever part of the business I want as time progresses. The fact that I've been able to have opportunities already amazes me. I'm excited by the possibilities, which means that my job will probably become everything since at this point I have nothing else to put my attention into here.

I'm going to look into volleyball leagues at the Y, but right now I doubt I have money to get a gym membership, if i did, i think a good chunk of my free time would get thrown in there. I've started an ambitious crocheting project, after the success of my scarf last winter I have moved onto making a blanket. I know i'm lame but so far its pretty sweet looking, and honestly really satisfying to know its my work.

Jade is adjusting yet again, the crying has increased at god awful hours of the night but I'm hoping that will die down over time, either that or I'll eventually have to get a second cat so she won't be so lonely and give me some space. She's been up my butt.

My apartment is cute. Needs some work in terms of decoration still. Its in an old hotel, 9 apartments in the building all of which have young professionals in them, as do most of the surrounding townhouses. Everyone is really nice, but its a very different type of crowd and I'm not sure how I am going to fit into that. I still don't have a mailbox key...not that I have any mail yet but I should soon! lol.

Incase anyone wanted it...

211 E. Dover Street
Apartment # 7
Easton, MD 21601

if you're ever bored and feel like writing a letter...i have so much time now without classes so you're sure to get a response.

I guess that's it for now.

peace.
