So it's been a while since I've written here, but finally I am all settled into my apartment in Denver. Colorado. 1,013 miles away from home. Two time zones away from my boyfriend and best friend. It's a very big change that I know is going to take a while to get used to. I did it four years ago when I went away to DePauw as an undergrad: going someplace new, away from home, where I didn't know anybody. But undergrad is catered to baby freshman and help them make friends and feel at home. Plus, I was only 2.5 hours away from home. Easy drive.
Here, it's different. I'm an adult and no one is here to hold my hand. I know I have the ability to handle it, but it still scares the hell out of me. I don't know where anything is. I don't know anybody. I'm nervous about grad school and the classes I'll be taking. But on the plus side, the city is beautiful. The first person I meet or the first person to visit me gets the experience of exploring downtown with me. I can't quite muster the courage to do THAT alone. The mountains are gorgeous. The weather is everything I dreamed weather away from the Ohio Valley could be.
I just can't wait for time to pass. Not that I want to lose it, but I want to get to the time when I feel at home HERE.
