Well, I am officially moving to Tx in the fall. I have decided to settle in the Dallas area, so I can co-habitat (spelling?!?) with my friend Catlin. I am excited to be coming home to the lone star state, but sad at the same time to leave Philly, which is truly an amazing city. I am going to be doing grad school via the internet (we shall see how that goes) and try to secure some kind of income/job. Right now I am looking into positions with Americorp. They would be amazing because A. They pay some of your student loans (grad school) B. It would be excellent experience in the field I am interested in (community development) and C. they give you money to live on. Awesome. I don't really want to head into full-time crazy employment right away, so hopefully this works out and most everyone will be happy.
Hold in your excitement.
I am going to post some pictures here on Friday, because life has been pretty darn funny lately. Some of the things that happen don't have pictures to go along with them, so I will simply tell you about them. Lu and I have been trying to compile a list of the funniest things that have happened to us in Philly so far. Here are some of the highlights.
1. The other night this kid got on the trolley carrying his laptop. Ok normal right, except his laptop was on. He was watching an Anamae (anna may, anami, anamei??!?!), (i have no idea) movie with subtitles. weird.
2. I have entered into slightly illegally activity with my friend the security guard at the grocery store. He sees my roommates and I go to the store in order to rent movies from the redbox (www.redbox.com i highly recommend it) Last night he called me into his "office", introduced himself, and then proceded to show me all of these pirated movies he had. He had the new star trek, angels and demons, and many more. I didn't really know what he wanted me to say, so I just congratulated him. He then asked if I would be interested in buying some. I am not really interested but I have him my phone number. Bad idea? Perhaps. I will never buy one though, I just think the security guard is really nice.
3. The other night our 15 year old neighbor Liz was over with the 1 year old she babysits, Rhiana. Rhianna= the funniest baby in the world. On Saturday she took off all her clothing (diaper included) and danced for about 30 minutes. I felt like I was in a movie, or a trippy cartoon, but it was all real.
So that is life right now. Chris and Lauren Gaines were in town Monday which was awesome. We saw my neighborhood, got stuck in traffic for a long time, and then ate Philly cheesesteak and water ice. It was a lot of fun.
I will keep this blog updated on my next life steps when I figure them out myself.
