Frozen Berries...Today has been altogether wonderful. I unofficially found out that I was accepted into the Cuenca program for this spring. That means that I'll be studying in Ecuador from March until June!! I am so excited about this opportunity in my life. I have so many questions about what it will be like to live there I am overwhelmed with joy. It will indeed be a wonderful time.
Also, everything worked out in a very kind, understanding, and loving way concerning the situation between me, Rem, and Amanda. We had all felt so stressed out that I believe we had taken it out on each other. Rem and Amanda remain to be very very good friends of mine. I am so happy to have them in my life and to have had the chance to live with them for the amount of time I have. Who knows what life will bring in the future but it is looking as though I will be moving out in June to live somewhere else in Athens for the remainder of my time here. I am really excited about this too -- I've already looked into a couple of places that might work for me.
This time around I am thinking about finding a single apartment for me to live. I know that it will be a little more money but I think that having my own place, even just for a little bit, could prove to be a very essential thing to me to have in my life right now. I feel like for the past 3 years I have been very adaptive to my living environments. I have spent a lot of time traveling with the band (in which we would spend our nights sleeping on hard wooden floors), I had lived with Leo and Box, I had lived with Rem, Amanda, and Jesse (Rem's younger brother), and I had also lived with Rem and Amanda. So, after three years of sharing space with at least 2 other people (and in some situations 4 or five) I feel like it is my time to have my own space for once. I think I will try to get a job this summer (even if it is transient) to save money to help pay for the rent. I am lucky to be in a situation where my parents will aid me in paying the rent but someday I will pay all of the debt that I owe my mother and father.
In other news, today has been pretty odd -- Athens county had declared a level three snow emergency and Ohio University closed all of its halls and offices which meant no school for today. This is the first time this has happened since 2003 when there was a blizzard in January (or February) in which 19'' of snow fell on the ground. I am slightly shocked that OU called off of school just because the weather conditions now at 3:00pm are not too severe.
I am feeling pretty happy right now -- time to get some school work done.
