I moved to sunny San Diego to get away from the gloom in South Bend....too bad it's been gray outside for two weeks and there's no warmth in sight.  Ugh.  In good news, I remember why I was so excited to get out of this house.  Now I have motivation to get money, get a car, and get an apartment!  yay me!

Well, like the frenetic pace of my life lately, this entry will be hurried.  I have a class in ten minutes to which I don't want to be late.  But, in the scheme of things, here's what's been going on.  I talked to Meridith for the firt time in a long time.  She's a single girl again...which means a drinking weekend...and of course a party!  A Party ( Read more... )

You humble me. I think our relationships are what make life worth living. You meet these amazing people, and you have a unique moment in which clarity is established.
