Settling In

I am happy to say that I am essentially unpacked (except for a few random boxes I still don't know what to do with). My room is complete and the apartment has furniture. It's starting to look more like a place to live rather than a concrete box.

My only real goal before school starts is to find a job. I desperately need one with tuition payments and rent due soon. I get scared when I know there is no income coming into my bank account; there's only money going out. I've sent out resume after resume, cover letter after cover letter, email after email. We'll see what happens. I hope to find something soon!

I really think I'm going to like it here. The Boston Common and Public Gardens are amazing. The city itself is great; I love just walking around with my iPod on and building/people watching. As scary as I thought my neighborhood was when I first moved here, I don't feel as nervous about it anymore. Now it's just something I'm getting used to. The only annoying part is the honking ouside my bedroom window at all hours of the day and random (drunk or mentally challenged, I can never tell) people screaming outside about something. I like to peek across the street into these amazing loft condos. The people never close their blinds and their lofts look amazingly nice. I wish I had money to live there. I have been making Chinese food for myself and it's really nice to know that once I run out, I'll have the Chinese grocery store right around the corner to shop at. No matter how long I'm here for, I know I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts (and let's hope it's not too long).
