So I'm settled in across the country for the summer now -- a terrifying concept that I haven't let sink in yet -- and so far so good. :) My roommate gets here in a week or two; her amazing parents left all sorts of good stuff in the kitchen. I've got my clothes unpacked -- kinda wrinkly but I figure I can throw them in our dryer (which isn't four flights of stairs down, unlike certain other washer/dryers I could mention) and that'll help. We've got internet technology, clearly, and I've hooked up my music, so it feels just like home. :p

I was up all last night packing and panicking and making one last 4am South Street Diner trip, and then napped intermittently in the cab/in the airport/on the plane, so I think my sleep schedule is thoroughly screwed up enough that if I don't think about the jet lag there won't be any.

Seattle is (predictably) rainy and a little chilly, but nice. My apartment building's surrounded by trees (and, um, other apartments in the complex), we have a little covered porch where I have designs to sit with a guitar (which I must obtain -- something acoustic off craigslist, maybe an old twelve-string if I am feeling super extravagant or see a really good deal -- I'm telling myself whatever I get I'll resell in August, but I have a sneaking feeling I'm going to want to bring whatever it is home) and whittle away summer evenings, or something like that.

Also, I have three days to figure out how to get to work, so that'll be interesting.

Pictures forthcoming -- I brought my camera in carry-on but shipped the transfer cord, so I can't yet. And now I think I'm going to settle in with tea and a C# book and an afternoon nap before I try to figure out how to get to the grocery store.

Oh my god, West Coast roads. There's so *much* of them. Seriously. It makes this whole place feel really weird. (Also, the placement of trees in relation to other not-tree things is off from what I expect.)

On the other hand, the Trader Joe's was pretty much just like home. And the fact that it's 48 degrees now but forecast to break 80 the day after tomorrow seems very much like home too. Not, of course, that I (a twenty-one year old basically-grown-up woman of the world, clearly) would ever get homesick or anything.... :p
