Home

I've been waiting for quite a while to be able to say this, but I finally found myself a home! :) I am still going to be staying with Lynn for this month, since my room won't even be available until mid-month, but in June I have a place to live, and it's not a temporary arrangement. This is very exciting! It's a nice room, with a big closet, two blocks from the beach, I have two roommates, and all outside appearances would indicate that they're very normal people. My roommates do insist on having a housekeeper come in every other week, but I can handle that, and on the bright side it takes cleaning off the list as one less thing I'll have to worry about. It's not Josefina (I asked).

I'm pretty excited about being close to the water again. I've even been practicing my parallel parking (which I have to say isn't all that hard in a BMW, it has this little feature where when I put the car in reverse the mirror on the right-hand side immediately directs itself down so I don't scrub my tires against the curb), and I'm getting pretty good at it. Although coming from someone who would whine at my passengers to come take over the wheel whenever I was forced into a parallel parking situation, that probably only means I'm just doing an okay job now.

Next month when I'm all situated I will post pictures.
