A New Home

Greetings from lovely DC… well Northern Virginia to be exact. I’m now fully settled in this place. I can catch up my public on what’s going on. The week running up to my move was a blur. Monday Alex, Nancy, and Joe came up from Billerica. Kim Munroe joined us and we celebrated her birthday at Hooligan’s. It was a quiet atmosphere but we made it fun. We all got pretty good and Kim and Nancy started contemplating making out. We all got a tad rowdy and the bar cut us off. We weren’t even that drunk- just loud. Joe threw up a lot but he was good about it- just in the toilet and nowhere else. The next day we went to the 50/50 diner for some good ‘ol breakfast. Later that day the Orientation Crew came up to prep for Winter Orientation the next day. Afterward we all had some drinks at Ashley’s townhouse and played Never Have I Ever all night. We all learned a lot about Bill. Winter Orientation on Wednesday was pretty ok. This mom made fun of the hickey I’ve had all week. After that I drove to Worcester to sign a wedding video deal with a nice couple from CT. That night I wanted to start packing up my townhouse- but instead Kim came over to finish season one of 24. On Thursday I had budget meetings with the SGA Finance Committee. It went the three hours I expected, but we had lunch and we got a pretty cool budget down. I finished the reporting worksheets around 6, then started packing up my townhouse. I ended up moving out of there around 10. The next day I drove to Malden to drop off a wedding video… and collect my hard earned money. After that I met with Phil and Tessa, we all went to the Cheesecake Factory to enjoy some quality time together. The one thing I can say about leaving Massachusetts is realizing how much my friends really love me. A whole bunch of them want to visit me here over the semester. Even OC called me to send me some love. I love all my friends. They are the best group of people I could ever have. The trip to Virginia was done with 3 hours sleep. I spent all Friday night packing after dinner. It went by smoothly- driving my Mom’s Toyota was pretty slick. It drives like Phil’s car- which he says drives like a go-cart. This weekend I spent getting settled, exploring the area, shopping for things I forgot in MA. My aunt’s place is the shit and here’s why:

I’m really excited to be living here- and I hope starting work here will just be as exciting. You can see photos of the place in the photo album. Well I should be getting to bed- but stay tuned- it’s just starting.
