this is getting out of hand, and i know it. i'm sorry. i promise that once things are settled here, i will be writing. and there are plenty of things to write about (finally!). but this week is orientation, and i'm trying to get to know my roommates, and locking yourself in your room w/ your laptop isn't exactly the best way to do that. please believe me when i say that this step is really really important to me--not that all of you reading aren't. but for this year to work out the way i want it to, i think i should invest all i've got in being a part of this community to the best of my ability.
like i said, though, getting settled at the moment, orientation... going to mexico [briefly]... work starts on tuesday. i hope to update on monday, since we technically have the day off.
xoxo
