Beautiful View!

Today was my first day of school. I moved into my new apartment on thursday (YES I am no longer homeless!) I am living on campus with some girls I lived near last year. They are all very sweet, very caucasian, and very blonde, so as for now i fit in. there are six of us living here in this little three bedroom, two bathroom apartment, with a large combined living room, kitchen, and patio. But by far we have the best view on campus. This comes from being on the third floor, which moving in was the biggest leg work out of my life, but i think it will help to keep me in shape this year. i am in the small back bedroom, which may sound miserable, but it is the one with the best view. Right now I just woke up and was able to watch the sun set beautifully behind the mountains. I can see over the foothills and even on to some of the snowy peaks. Its great. I live with a girl named lynsey. Initially I was worried about rooming with her, but so far things have been going well. I had four classes today which all went well. Most of my classes are global studies and history. They seem kind of difficult, but ill hope for the best. most of all i am looking forward to my french class. yay. tomorrow i just have one which will be nice. So as for now i have a mandatory floor meeting. now ill get a chance to meet everyone i live around. so hopefully that will be good. more updates later. love love

homeless

the last few days have been quite the experience. i moved out of my campus apartment on monday and have been couch hopping for the last two nights. i put most of my stuff in storage and have only what i need, some clothes, two books, and some bathroom stuff, in the back of my car. all of my housing stuff for the fall, all of my options, have fallen through, leaving me homeless the last few nights, and also when i return in the fall unless i work something out asap. nothing seems to be working in my favor though. one night i was able to stay in my friend shannas guest bedroom. that was nice, they served me dinner and were very hospitable. in return i clean more than i left, leave a nice note, and maybe even some flowers, then disappearing before they arrive home from work. it happened today again when i stayed on my friend nicoles futon. they were very nice and even let me go out and use the apartment complex pool. it was very refreshing. the next morning i cleaned and left before they came home. during the day well yesterday i went to school and used the computers in the student union so that i could play spider solitaire. and today i am at the press because they have free wireless which i have not had access to because in the homes i stayed at they didnt have it. so now im just relaxing eating my blueberry bagel and drinking my large iced soy yerba mate and writing about my boring life of couch surfing. one thing im really interested in trying out, just for one night, is the Boulder International Hostel (http://www.boulderhostel.com) ive never stayed in a hostel but after reading about it, it sounds great and a fun community for a night or two. the only thing is that you must be an out of colorado resident which works perfect for me. maybe someday when i have someone who will go with me i will stay there for a night and make up an amazing story of my travels. but as for now im in the coffee shop for the next few hours until aaron will take me to the airport to fly home where i will be homeless no longer!!!!!!!!!!!!
