NIU resumed classes today. I thought it would be really weird to not be going back, but it isn't. I was really ready to move on from that part of my life... from academics, from Dekalb, just all of it.
Today Lauren moved out, which is unfortunate but was necessary. I was very lucky that Valerie was available to take her place, as she had recently been screwed out of a living situation in Chicago and had her things locked up in storage. I didn't have to find a random roommate on Craigslist or something.
When my lease is up here... I want to move to a nicer area of Chicago. I am not too fond of this area. It bums me out. I also want to be more conveniently located to public transportation. I am also thinking I'd like to try living alone. It would be very expensive but I think it would be a good experience. I think unless I can find someone who I'd really want to live with, who could afford to live in a nice area with me... than I'm gonna figure out a way to go it alone. I have a lot of time to think on this though.
My job is going well. It's not that challenging or anything but I really like the people there a lot. It's a really great company and it makes all of the difference. I'd have laughed in your face if you told me I'd work at an investment firm after I graduated.
I've been seeing this really great guy lately. Our last date on Saturday ended with us walking 4 miles up along Lake Michigan holding hands. I've never felt so excited to hold someone's hand before. I think he's really special. We casually mention plans for things we should do together in the future all the time. It's not even a matter of just getting ahead of myself, I just see that it's going to work out. Now I'm just sorta in that weird relationship limbo... where it's kinda quick to put the pressure on of making things official... but I am definitely not interested in looking at any other men.
Things are good here, for me.
