seattle-ite

i officially moved into the city three days ago and so far, i am very happy. this morning i went to the huge, freaking awesome seattle public library and got myself a library card. the library is only roughly three blocks from our apartment building so i suspect i'll be there often. it's a little sad to me that they have so many more plays on their shelves than we did at western. i avoided checking any plays out yet, though, because i am trying to finish a couple of other books and i need to concentrate on them.

the city is laid out before me. so far my knowledge of seattle is very limited. i'm becoming familiar with the downtown area since i live close to there and with seattle center since i intern there. one day i just need to have a bus adventure - you know, figure out the corners, the nooks, the crannies. i want to find the good restaurants, the beautiful parks, all the entertainment. i want to know the place i will live in for the next couple of years.

and who knows? maybe it'll be longer than the next couple of years.

packing

i'm packing up my life today. next week i'll sleep in an empty apartment. the week after i will have a new address.

oy.

free week

it feels almost like graduation never happened. it's surreal and a little bit empty. there are a million pictures to show me that i've graduated but none of them seem real. maybe it is because this week is a free week. i literally have zero commitments. they come up from moment to moment.

so far this week i've:
-bought a book to read for fun
-watched a lot of will & grace and 30 rock
- started to organize my school work, paperwork etc.
- had drinks with friends.
- plans to have big mama's midday today.

i'm just waiting to make the big move. it'll happen suddenly i'm sure. but it's just the wait.

last finals week

it is the final countdown. in a matter of days i will be a college graduate. okay, so it's like a matter of five years but...from today, it is a matter of days.

theatre prom was glorious. i thought i would be so much sadder during the day then i was. but i wasn't. now, i'm starting to feel the melancholy of leaving, the melancholy of not getting to know some people better, the melancholy of an end of a part of my life.

i mean, i'm going to be a kick-ass adult but i am scared.

in the meantime, i really need to get these papers done.
