So I moved to DC Aug 1, 2010 to start grad school to become a therapist. I'm living in a house with 2 other guys (both slightly older than me) and a spaniel named Sammy (female). My classes are a mixed bag, which I guess is to be expected. At one point I joined 3 soccer teams and was finishing up the summer league, and then BAM! Fractured my navicular (sp?) in my foot (small bone on top) playing soccer. For once it wasn't ME being aggressive! An old guy cleated me HARD on the top of my foot, then I rolled my ankle. Double whammy. So I've been sporting crutches and a cast for 2 weeks now, and ended my soccer career for the fall. Very said b/c that is 1. my favorite sport to play 2. a great release for me and about the only exercise I get and 3. how I planned to make friends. It's tough moving to a new city with just a few people that I know...and still haven't even met up with some of them, including my godsister, my only family member here. Still adjusting to real city life, school, a new job (working with a 4 yr old girl), etc. It's been up and down, and not easy, but just trying to do my best in hanging in there until I finish the program (in 3 long years, lol).

So I moved in with 2 girls to a house in Somerville to be closer to my job. I just moved in this month, but so far it's been great! Weve had lots of fun and adventures. They each got puppies, too. Arielle got an Old English Sheepdog and Stacy got an English bulldog. Both are girls (though there was confusion for about a week about the bulldog, lol). Baylor's got himself 2 chicks now to hang out with! He is moving in next weekend when I go pick him up from his grandma and grandpa's, I am so excited!

So this will be the 4th place this year, but I'm hoping it's the last for a long time. I got all my stuff into my new condo (I didn't buy it, just renting from the owner, Sylvia, a grad student). Of course there is stuff everyone and after 16 hours of packing and moving, I am exhausted! But today I get to pick up Pax, my kitten and get him moved in while I unpack at least some clothes to wear for the week! I am going to have a lazy day though before that. Moving is so not fun. I said the next time I move it's going to be when I can afford to hire movers!
Do you ever do something in the heat of the moment--led by people you trust--and it turns out to be the wrong decision? Well that's where am right now. I just lost someone I have loved dearly over the past year b/c of a moment of fear and lots of background chatter as to what I should do. It makes me so sad to lose this person because they were such a huge part of my life and stood by me through some really tough stuff. I can't imagine living life without this person....
It seems like a sin to have a beautiful new car, only to look at it and unable to drive it. :o(
I got my license medically suspended on Tuesday...as a result of continued concussion symptoms from the 4/27 accident. ARGH! I'm so upset. Totally didn't see it coming when I went to the neurologist. He said it could be MONTHS! I of course said no f-ing way, I have to work! And I live 40 miles away from work! So my job is letting me temporarily work from home, but only through next week. There's no good public transportation there (a 2 1/2-3 hr train ride one way). So it's all quite a mess and I'm fighting it. Also getting a 2nd opinion next week. This is so ridiculous, has anyone heard of such a thing?
He said he is required by law to take my license b/c I have lost consciousness since the accident. Actually I've fainted a few times--but its related to a medicine I'm on. He wouldn't buy it though and is making me get an MRI and see an epilepsy doctor and bunch of other stuff. Also ordered physical and speech/memory therapy, only I can't get there because I CAN'T DRIVE!!!
I need a lawyer...Paul, are you done yet?
