after a few hectic days and moving my life in cardboard boxes and plastics bags, i am finally decently settled into my new home. but it doesn’t feel like home yet. but i feel it has a lot of potential to be. maybe this experience is the first time i’ve ever really been by myself. when people ask me what kind of person i am, i always answer out-going and adventurous. but this experience is kind of testing how i think i am. am i truly adventurous? or do i just like to think that i am. but seriously, i am completely alone in morgantown, thus far. i don’t know anyone here besides a few acquaintances in the french department but i can’t really consider that as knowing someone.
i’ve never lived by myself and the thought makes me anxious. last night was my first night alone because jon left me to go back to bedford. usually i’m paranoid and on edge when i’m alone in a house, but surprisingly last night i wasn’t as nervous. i couldn’t sleep very well because its soo quiet where i live, but i think that my life here has a lot of potential.
for example, i am sitting here in a little coffee shop downtown, taking advantage of the awesome wee-fee (wi-fi) and drinking an overpriced smoothie in a juice bottle, but the guy at the bar is super nice and happy to oblige my requests for a mango smoothie with apple juice and some organic yogurt.
now there are two guys in the back of the coffee shop with me. they must be shooting a commercial for the coffee shop because the one guy is dressing up in a cowboy outfit with his blown up horse underneath him and he’s wearing a big green foam hat with a fake moustache. if this is what morgantown is like, everyday will be interesting and i think i can be happy here.
