Well kids, here is an update. I'm trying to be better about keeping this puppy current. Sorrrrrryyyyy!

Thoughts About Moving **Updated**

I've been in Seattle for about a month, and here are some things I have observed:

• There are a lot of people here
• They love teriyaki
• The weather is actually quite pleasant
• Spiders. Everywhere.
• There is a plastic bag ban. Plastic is bad, I get it. But really, is the best way to save the environment cutting down tons of trees to make paper bags...?
• On the same note, people seem to love nature, but they live in the middle of a huge city? If you love nature then why are you here, surrounded by sky scrapers?
• 5 way intersections. How am I supposed to know who has to yield and who has to stop? Should I put on my blinker? Which light do I obey? What is going on???
• This city has some amazing thrift stores
• Straight hair staying straight is a thing of the past 

For another list, here are the things I miss about Montana:

• My family
• My friends
• Riding my bike/walking everywhere
• Recognizing people
• Feeling at home
• Knowing the good places to eat
• Seeing stars and big mountains
• Driving 10 minutes in any direction and being out of town

Now that the lists are done, we can move on to my actual thoughts about moving. First, I love school and my classes are great. However, it's really hard to uproot your life and move. I have to make new friends, figure out how to get from here to there, find all my new 'go-to's' (like an auto parts store, hardware store, grocery store, mechanic, etc.), find new long boarding streets, and find somewhere that makes good fresh-squeezed lemonade. These all seem fairly trivial, but when you have to rediscover all of those things, they become a big deal. Uggggghhhhhh. I think I'm in a sad sort of mood because I just really miss everyone. I know life can't stay the same forever and I needed a change, but I didn't think it would be this hard. I'm going to go to sleep now and it will be better in the morning.

**Update**

(Not the video below, that was in here before). I found an old post I wrote and it seems to sum things up nicely:

"She had just realized there were two things that prevent us from achieving our dreams: believing them to be impossible or seeing those dreams made possible by some sudden turn of the wheel of fortune, when you least expected it. For at that moment, all our fears suddenly surface: the fear of setting off along a road heading who knows where, the fear of a life full of new challenges, the fear of losing forever everything that is familiar."

-"The Devil and Ms. Prym" by Paulo Coelho

Sheesh.

Anywho, here is my current musical obsession:

For anyone who doesn't know the story, early this past summer I applied to a graphic design program in Seattle. In August I found out I was accepted and I started class two weeks ago. Huzzah.
