Aloha from Indiana!

Ahhh, the beach. My Spring Break officially started after class today at 11:30 a.m. and I’m stuck in Indiana. Yep, that happens when you’re spontaneous and you normally make travel plans at the last minute. So for now, I am looking at beach scenes and wishing I was there.

It’s been a fairly exciting week, as I have been apartment hunting! Needless to say it’s been fairly successful and I think I may have found a place in Carmel… yup… Carmel. For all the trash talking I’ve done towards Carmel in my four years at North Central, I have decided that Carmel has grown on me.

I have plenty of money saved up to buy the essentials for the kitchen and bathroom and will probably look around places for used furniture (hello flea markets, Craig’s List, and Goodwill!). After I go on my shopping spree at Target, I think I’ll have a lot of what I need, I just won’t have any living room furniture, which isn’t a big deal to me. Why? Because summer time means that I’ll be outside a lot and there will be Tiki Time at Noah’s house!

Which by the way, reminds me that I need to find a bike to go on the Monon… I’ve been using my Dad’s bike for years, but I don’t think he likes the idea of me taking his bike with me.

So overall, I’m pretty content with life. I’m excited about the near future, the upcoming warm weather, a new place… I think everything is starting to come together.

I have to thank God the most for helping me through over the past several months. I’ve slipped up a few times, but I think I’m finally in a good place: at school, at home, and at work. Woo hoo! Well, that’s all for now. I’ll keep you posted on apartment updates!
