As soon as they all left I got really homesick for the first time since I moved a little over two weeks ago. It just felt like a rot in my gut for a bit. I've felt a little bit of it on and off since I moved, but I think just because I haven't had much going on, it really just sunk in. Just the comfort of having my own room in my family house, to pop out every once and a while to talk. To eat and live there for free. Knowing exactly what to expect from my neighborhood, and to know it inside and out. I miss that familiarity. But I'm looking forward to find that comfort, or something like it, here.
Maybe I'll get a kitten.
I have a lot of photos from Monday night. We took a guided cruise tour around the city and I thought it would be annoying and touristy (it was very touristy) but I loved it. We stood on the deck of the boat for the whole thing. It was breathtaking. Here are some pictures I took that I'm happy with.
You should click on these to see them in better resolution. They're still compromised, though, but they'll be bigger. We all love bigger.
It was really nice on the water.
Also, I have to mention how much solitaire I've been playing. A lot. Since I broke my foot and don't have internet connections at the house, I've been spending a lot of time lately just playing solitaire and listening to music. I used to suck at it, but I am starting to master it now.
I probably started playing it like three days ago.
Yeah that's right. 101 games played. At the time it was taken earlier this morning. I think it's up to about 115 now.
Yeah that's right. 14 games won. I'm still working on it.
Booyah.
And to update you on my broken foot. It's been getting better! I'm pretty happy because I can walk at an almost regular pace. It just starts to really hurt if I'm on my feet for too long. But after the first day I didn't need my crutches. And starting this morning, I just ace bandage my foot and put it in a normal shoe. I still limp a little, but it's a lot better than I thought. And I just rode my bike here (the college) and it was awesome. It took like 2 minutes and it was a nice ride. I think I'm gonna continue that as much as possible. (Hopefully no one steals my bike...)
And here's my bruised broken foot. It was swollen like a balloon the first day, but it's almost at regular size.
See ya!
