Goodness. It's been a YEAR? Already? Almost. Feels like more, and less. Cliche, yes, but "whirring sentimentality..." yeah. It's what you signed up for.
It seems like every time I post here, some major change has come about. Well, no exception today...just when I think things are settled for a good long while, like it seemed in my last post, things change monumentally. Of course, I am still working at that bookstore -- and by the way, it's so strange and interesting to look back on my own initial reflections on a new job, a love interest, etc. and realize how much I've changed in just that tiny droplet of time.
Anyway, I guess I don't sit back and realize that I've encountered one whole year here, in northern California, on my own. Enoch and I finally broke up, last April, which was quite overdue. I've started seeing someone new, and these kinds of things always seem to come up so unexpectedly, but it's working out better than anything ever has. I'd say it's the healthiest relationship of my life. I like that. But Jesus CHRIST am I laying on the sap here. What happened to my nuanced tone? I guess one year also means one year farther away from that college place. Depressing. But, going back to school! Starting classes in september! Well, it's not so simple. It's all part of my grand plan, to go to chiropractic college out here, at an amazing school, and then work in the bay area for a while, then maybe travel the world doing chiropractic...? It's not unheard of, I swear. In fact, it's totally doable. Well, we'll see.
In the meantime, I work to improve the layout of my garden, discover new bike paths around town, explore the monumental hills of san francisco, pine for my own piano, count lots and lots of cash at work and shelve a few books. Oh, I'm just so helpful! Maybe someday I'll be helpful in a real, useful, dare I say helpful, sort of way. That's about as much as I can ask.
