Just catching up a moment before bed. Things are going well here. I'm all moved out of my apartment in Timonium (with the exception of a few plants, my bike, and some pots). I'm all set with Ann here in Owings Mills-- very nice family, nice house, and nice deer on my way to and fro.
Been doing a bit of that whole "flying by the seat of my pants" thing lately-- I guess you could say that it's finally catching up with me. You see, a few weeks ago I told myself that I'd spend as much time as possible with friends here before moving on to new places. Well, for the past two weeks my schedule has been jam-packed with events such as tennis dates, concerts, parties, dinner plans, and even a pretty snazzy New Jersey wedding. Sleep has been difficult to come by, and I've even decided to start regulating my coffee intake for my stomach's sake. It's been a very fun time, although I feel as though it might be time to catch my breath before somersaulting into a fit of exhaustion.
People have started to ask me if I'm nervous and/or excited about moving to Massachusetts. I can't wait. I'm not nervous yet; knowing me, I'll probably get nervous for about 10 minutes a few days before, then get over it. I spoke with a friend about the program that I'll be joining-- he met my supervisors and chef-- and I quote "the program seems pretty legit." With him being a pretty good judge of character, I'm even more ready for hilly and chilly New England autumn.
