Oh to be alive.

It has been an eventful past few weeks, to say the least. I moved from Ann Arbor to Chicago, and life here has been pretty much as I've expected it to be: wonderful. I really can't say that enough.

Things are different though. Since I'm leaving for Italy in a few weeks, I've had a hard time finding a job, and that is something that's become foreign to me. I feel guilty about it. It's temporary, though. Also, I'm living in my friends' guest room, and as comfortable as I feel with them, which is very comfortable, it is not home for me. I am anxious to come back from Europe to my own apartment. But again, this is temporary.

Lately I've discovered how ridiculously easy it is to get around without a car, and soon I'm selling mine. Tana and I went to Filter in Wicker Park for coffee the other night, and we had a nice conversation. I've missed that, and I've missed her. I am glad to be close again. I want to go back before they close.

So yeah! 95% of my stuff is in storage, and I live in a new city. A proper city. I am ecstatic.
