Yesterday I moved into my apartment... aka Base Camp for this first year of real adulthood. The day was largely uneventful thanks to the incredible help of my mom and Aunt (who owns a huge van and could transport big things like mattresses and desks and what not). They made the move super smooth (and despite my personal deficiencies in the area, organized). Both my roommates are already here and I have already had two lovely visits from Rochester friends- so I am not short of friendly faces to usher me into this new season.
Base Camp doesn't quite feel like home yet- it just feels like I am just visiting Christine and Amanda (and happened to bring a lot of stuff). I'm sure that will come with time. My mind is still in its usual nomadic mindset- so the idea of permanence... or even semi-permanence is new. I like it though. And I am feeling even more optimistic than normal.
Its also nice to have some forced quiet thinking time before I start work on monday. Generally speaking, I'm pretty bad at being still. So this week of calm is time well spent.
