sac-town blues

today was the first day in a LONG time that i ate all of my meals alone.

i'm lonely already. i miss andy/home. my tolerance/enthusiasm for traveling (solo) has dwindled down to practically nothing. and to think, this is the same girl who flew off to south america alone, four years ago. jeez, i can't even take a road trip up to sacramento without moping. it's so true... relationships change you, make you weak. sigh. anyway, i'm hoping that i'll be able to channel my melancholy into true productivity... so much to do, so much.

when i met my new roommate for the month, i realized that it's been a long time since i've had to meet a new person.. socially, that is. i felt pretty darn weird... i guess it's kinda like riding a bike- you never really forget how to interact with people, but you're pretty wobbly for awhile when you start it up again.

so my neighborhood is in the middle of nowhere, but surrounded by lots of new housing and yuppie shopping centers... kinda like rancho cucamonga. haven't had a chance to really explore sacramento yet, but i'm hoping to see more of the city in my quest for free wifi in coffeeshops. i have to say, it is sorta exciting.... if i am so fortunate as to get a spot up here for residency.... this could be my new home for the next 5 years! sigh. i'm getting ahead of myself. i'm just gonna try to get through this crucial week of first impressions. we'll see where it goes from there.
