ruminating

walking to school yesterday it struck me how easy and familiar life here seems already, but in a bizarre sort of surreal way. it's almost as if i just changed the channel and everything about my life changed without me really trying. all i had to do was get on a plane, and poof here's your new apartment and friends and classes and classmates and roommates and streets...
it's all different but i still feel the same sense comfort, excitement and anxiety.
this is a bad thing because a large part of why i decided to come here was to shake up my life so i wouldn't feel so...like this.
this just proves that a change of location doesn't necessarily mean a lifestyle change. so i'm going to start volunteering at this graphic design firm off in the boonies (prague 10) and having conversations with this czech fellow that the program set me up with, he's in his 30's and is a professional actor/model/dancer.
on top of all this i'm really starting to miss people and places such as nw 23rd, and that section of 13th by weiden and kennedy. i even went into a bathroom the other day which smelled soapy and reminded my of caty's cabin. i miss that too.
