packing up

driving all of my things to new jersey tomorrow...!

funny how i've gotten so great at it.. or at least gotten so used to it. i haven't stayed in the same place for the same year since... high school. i guess i'm lucky to have stayed a year this time! :)

this weekend i'll be moving to owings mills, still maryland, until mid september. staying with a forever giving friend from work. it'll be about 10 minutes from where i live now, still a short drive from baltimore city.

mid-september, hali and i will be meeting up in portland, oregon for a mini-vacation. it will be great to finally leave my job and get away for a while just before moving back with my parents.

of course, mid-october will carry me to frigid albeit beautiful western massachusetts, where i will be volunteering with americorps. for the first half (4-5 months) i will be teaching environmental education to elementary-aged children. during the spring, i will be helping with trail maintenance, etc.... i.e., manual labor in the woods. wish me luck! it will be quite the change from suburban life.

more to follow.
