Getting to and starting circus school

hey everyone!! so i thought it would be easiest to keep u all updated in how and what i'm doing by keeping this blog. we'll see how long i can keep it up!


so the drive from texas to vermont was....long as shit! i hate driving long distances and will avoid it in the future if at all possible, but at least i have a car here! ashley made the trip with me and we had fun for the most part. especially on our detour to florida to go to disney and see byran (yay!!!!!!) and go to disney world and harry potter world! so disney was amazing, as it always is! wishes was back, which made me happy!! and i finally got to see bryan in block party! holla!! harry potter world was better the second time around because it was farrrrr less crowded. we got to ride the hogwarts ride 3 times!! awesomeness!!! and go into every store except ollivander's (that line was still ridiculously long still, but oh well). then i got to meet some of her old friends in south carolina and she got to meet one of mine and take an aerial class in north carolina. good times. got to see my sister...also good times. and then nyc!!!!! that was soooooo much fun!! i got to see american idiot and in the heights!!!! loved them both!! got to see david, charles, and rakia, and meet some new friends! i looooooooooved it there!


fast forward a little bit to my arrival in vermont. look, i'm from a "big" city, in a huge state...brattleboro is a small town in a tiny state. it's insane to me. this is not a place i would ever choose to live long term...mostly because of the cold (i'm soooo dreading winter!). day one was a little...rough. and so was day two. my mom had flown up to meet me and help me get settled in, but at times i felt she was more of a hindrance. so the room in the apartment i'm renting is....well, not quite what they said it would be. u can only stand up straight in half the room (which was conveniently never mentioned), the "closet" is really a hip height 2 foot at most bar, and the "full size bed" is a twin mattress on the floor. i was a little pissed (actually a lot pissed), but my mom was so mad about it that she stopped helping me unload my car (here's where she was really unhelpful when i needed it), so i had to do it all myself! and i had a lot to bring up to the 3rd floor. fail. on top of this the hotel we were staying at was soooo far and away from what the pics and description were it was insulting. but ok...first couple days were rough to say the least, but after that my mom calmed down a little and we proceeded to find the walmart in new hampshire (which is across a very small bridge from me) and try to get the things that i could not bring in my car or that i suddenly needed with the lack of any real closet. good times...and by good i mean rather frustrating. but whatever, i'm mostly moved in (i still have a little decorating and arranging to do). my mom left on sunday (very tearful goodbye from her...and i cried too, but she was a faucet). i drove back hope just hoping that i would meet at least one good friend and that my roommates wouldn't be crazy in any way that would drive me crazy. i got back to my apt, went to my room, was there all of 2 minutes, maybe, when t (that's his name) and trevor came to meet me...i found my gays! :) i felt better about the friend making situation almost instantly. t and i really bonded, we have become fast friends.


so today was my first day of classes....fun and yet i feel completely flabby fat and lazy. i started out with my first private lesson, which was mostly assessment, and yet i still felt worked after it. and then t and i went to the gym to run...yeah, i need to do that everyday. then lunch (applesauce on top of apple cinnamon rice cakes it my new fav snack!). then a little break before silks. nothing like a silk class to work u the f out. i'm beat and am not too sure how i wrote this blog, but whatever. i did. so there. day two starts bright and early tomorrow (don't these people know i don't really do morning!)...tomorrow will be even more than today....and i still need to try and find a job! what the hell did i get myself into?! this month is gonna be hell, but i know if can focus and work hard it'll all be soooo worth it! (fingers crossed, knock on wood)
