Hey. So it's almost 11 and I have to get up at 5 am to drive my mom and Mrs. Loftis to the airport, but I didn't want my first full day in Austin to end without me writing anything about it.
So let it be said that I'm here and things are good. Great actually. All 3 of my roommates are nice and fun - and each of them is different and brings their own spark. Our apartment isn't huge or super-luxurious, but it is both bigger and nicer than I expected. And in one day we've managed to get out hands on nearly all the furniture we need!
I saw the College Forward office today, met a bunch of the staff, already picked out a guy to have a forbidden crush on (some things never change) and learned a little bit more about what I'll be doing. The staff all seems super cool and passionate - my kind of people. And I think the work is going to be long and hard and longer and harder but so so so rewarding and so fun. I can wait to get my school assignment and meet my kids!
Austin is very hot and traffic is terrible and it's way bigger than I expected. But I LOVE IT! It's already starting to feel like home and the downtown is just so very cool and so very me. For all that this plan of mine seemed to just fall together as a series of happy coincidences - the last 24 hours have certainly convinced me that this is exactly where I'm meant to be.
I'm so excited for this coming year and all the challenges and joys it will bring.
More details when I'm less zonked (as in tired).
Paz
