ANYWAY.
This has been an insane--what, 11 days--since my last post. IN.SANE. It's such a weird thing to have been misplaced and not know it. Or maybe it was just that I didn't know the extent of it, but after a long 5+ years, I feel like I'm somewhere I belong.
My RAs are really wonderful girls who are ridiculously fun and, ok, let's be honest, thankfully think I'm super funny. And "popular." Which, if you know me at all, makes me the happiest girl (read: attention-starved) EVER. ;) Yeah, today Sarah said, "What?! Do we have the most popular RD or what?" Dana and I said yes and then I happened to tack on "and most attractive." Which they rolled with because I'm not sure at this point, they feel comfortable arguing.
The other RDs...yeah, I don't have words for these people. Seriously. They're astounding. They're smart. They're passionate. And holy CRAP are they funny. They made me feel really welcome and comfortable as soon as I got here (they'd all been here in training for a good 2 weeks already). I really really love our staff and am making new friends--which I love. They're fantastic. I honestly can't do anything but go on about them. So I'll stop before it gets superdog annoying.
I don't know, guys...this has been...amazing. I'm actually sitting here just shaking my head because I feel a little bit at a loss for words. I can't begin to tell you how different life is for me. How I feel like I've got fire again. How I feel like I have purpose. How I feel passionate about things and people. And it's hard. It's a hell of a lot harder than letting someone read me numbers. It's a huge committment and I'm alread tired--but I'm happy. That's the good word, peeps. It's as simple as that.
And now, some pics of my new apartment. The bedroom:
Yeah, I have 2 closets.
My iiiiiiiitty-bitty kitchen...ette. Yeah, that's a mini-fridge. And the thing on top of the cart? It's my Easy Bake Oven.
The living room. No, the fireplace doesn't work.
Oh, and yeah, the pink curtains are going. I don't know when or how, but I'm making sure of it. Trust me.
Well...that's it for now. We're still in the middle of RA Training so it's outrageously busy. When it slows down a bit, I'll have a routine again, which will be nice. Until then, text me tomorrow so I have a distraction when we're going over the section on confrontation...cause we all know I've got that one down. ;)
I have mad love for all of you. Night!
