My First Mountain

OhmygodIamsoexcitedtogetoutofWisconsinandtoliveinColoradoIcouldjustwigggle!
I am sooooooo ready to leave my amniotic sac of Kenosha/Waukesha and escape from the heartbeat of my mother Wisconsin. However, I am not really ready in any other way. I am leaving on Tuesday and I have a myriad of things I must do. I have to unpack from school and repack for CO. Also, it appears that the first mountain I am conquering this summer is that of the laundry I have neglected. (Yikahs!) And I have to, of course, hang out with Jared, T-Rex, and Angela. Plus, my dearest D-Rock is coming up tomorrow night. So, I'm kind of, sort of busy because I consider socialization of the utmost priority.
Time constraints considered, I've wasted a bit of my day sleeping, being lazy, reading, eating fruit salad, cleaning out my car and surfing the net. I did manage to get some laundry going which, by no means, makes that mountain a molehill, but its a start. Seeing as they're made of metal, I can assume the washer and dryer are Ironmen that have been training for this their whole lives...
I really think I should take down that David Hasselhoff poster, it's getting a little creepy.
The day started off gloomy, but has proven better with time. The humidity (which I will not have to worry about in CO) went down and there's a nice breeze. My windows are open and the curtains dance a little with each gust and I can smell the lilac bush outside. It's nice to hear birds again!
Money and separation anxiety issues aside, I am feeling pretty happy about my choice to go out West. I believe this change of scene is not only exciting, but necessary. I've spent too long fermenting in Wisconsin. In CO, I'll be able to meet some new people, get my life in order and have some time for introspection. I believe I'll be able to look at things in a whole new light when I return. And hopefully, get something resembling a tan...
