Long time, no update

It has been a long time since I last posted on here and quite a lot has been going on. I drove across the country with my sister. I saw good friends and incredible sights along the way. I will post some pictures one of these days. We went to Manzanita, OR; San Francisco, CA; Las Vegas, NV; Zion National Park, UT; Grand Canyon, AZ; Mesa Verde National Park, CO; Colorado Springs, CO; Grinnell, IA; Cleveland, OH; and back to good ol' New Hampshire. It was a whirlwind of activity for about 10 days. Lots of driving, not a lot of sleeping, seeing many different places, and driving some more. One thing I discovered: The west coast is very possibly the most beautiful part of the country.

Right now I am sitting outside under a tree at my new college, where I will be starting classes in a week. My housing situation fell through, unfortunately, so I am currently looking at possible apartments with my future roommate. The goal is to find a place in a residential area populated by grad students and professionals (ie no undergrads!), near school and public transportation, for not too much money. And we need a Sept 1st move in date. Oh and we want to find it in the next couple of days. Yeah... wish us luck!

Right now I'm staying with Jo and Jess in Somerville (thank you, Jo and Jess!) so that I am in the general Boston area rather than up in NH. I very much appreciate all the people who have let me stay with them, but I'm really looking forward to having my own space again soon, hopefully. I have been bouncing around staying with different people since the first week in June!
