Off to a good start!

I’m currently sitting in a Starbucks in Bloomington, Indiana. This is the very same Starbucks that we visited during my audition weekend and I was too nervous and sick to my stomach to even consider ingesting any caffeine.  Except now, I’m set up in a cozy booth with my laptop uploading pictures of my new apartment that’s right down the road.  I live here now.  February 6th was the last time I was in this specific place and at that time I hadn’t even considered that I might actually move here, that this would be the place I’d go to study and to write, that I would come to study at this place where I auditioned.  It seems like just days ago and at the same time, I can hardly even remember it.  And now, here I am I’m drinking my “decalf” Americano (with cream and two Splendas) out of a gigantic ceramic mug, easily 5-inches across.  You get a 10% discount for ordering a “for here” cup and being environmentally friendly. Oh, college towns, how I’ve missed you.

Next up:  entrance exams and auditions. 

Oh, and apparently a bunch of people from the bassoon studio are training to run a half marathon in November.  I guess I’ll just go ahead and add that to my list of projects. 

This should be fun 🙂

Hey there!

I am glad you are here! I am a thirty-something creative living in Athens, Ga who loves her husband, her cats, being outdoors, reading, music, and all things coffee. This blog is my day-by-day journey through exploring life without an eating disorder and finding the humor along the way. I hope to share my joys, my successes, my struggles, and likely, a lot of cat photos. Read More
