nice to meet you

hi from up here. this week i've spent lots of time with myself and washington, dc. and my lovely cousins in the evenings. i won't be all settled in my new place until this weekend, so my gracious fam has let me call their place home for the week. can i just say how strange it is not having to get up and go to work in the morning?! i thought it'd feel like a vacation, but it's definitely already sunk in that this is my new home for a while. i've done a lot of leisure walking, meditating, people watching (public transportation has so many interesting characters), craigslist bike searching, and museum caption reading for these past few days. i've been reminding myself to be patient while getting to know this new city. and so far it's been great.
