I was just re-reading some of my older posts. (Very literally, I'm trying to waste time so that I can digest breakfast before I go out and run.) It's amazing how much things have changed since I first blogged here in CO. I was miserable. I had no friends, I sat in my apartment all day, and I was homesick. I missed my family, my friends, my boyfriend, and that's all I talked about. And I'm not judging myself because of it--it was really hard to move out here alone and start over. It's a romanticized notion of adventure. But after the first month or so, it really does start to live up to its expectations.
Of course I still miss everyone, but it's not a physical pain anymore. It's just a thought in the back of my mind. Does that sound bad? I don't mean it to. Plus, I have a steady friend base (and by that, I mean three people). But they get me out of my apartment at least every weekend, usually more. I do need to focus on my work more, especially with only three weeks left, but I'm just too excited to get out and live in Denver. As cheesy as that is.
That's my reflection on change, not the leaves kind. Although, I have to say, Colorado Falls kick any other states' ass. So gorgeous! I don't even want to take a picture because I doubt it will do it justice.
On other news, the vegetarianism still lives on. Further cooking adventures have been Spaghetti Squash (FIVE STARS!) and Garlic & Olive Oil Couscous, also delish. And the running part of me is doing a 5k on Saturday morning up in Erie, CO. It's called the Eerie Erie, hah. Basically, you run in your costume. I'm sure I'll have more to say about Halloween weekend later.
Until then, cheers!
