No Internet at my apartment yet...

and this coffee shop is closing at 9.

I wouldn't have spent so long on my email if I knew that...
Oh well...just a quick update.

I moved to New Brunswick on Saturday, and have successfully unpacked. I love my apartment, surprisingly. I'm really happy with the way it turned out...pictures to come, for sure.

The Cablevision guy is going to come next Friday, so I'll be without real internet for another week and a half. I might survive, but I'm not entirely sure. I've been fine so far, but I've been pretty distracted with unpacking. Now that that's done...what to do with myself?

I've gone for a couple of runs and think I basically have New Brunswick figured out. I practiced a little today...yep...played the flute--quite the oddity these days.

My aunt, mom, and grandmother have all come and seen the apartment--it's been great to have visitors...

It's nice to live alone (I can walk around naked if I want to...), but it's also kind of weird. It's hard to get myself to get dressed in the morning...I kind of feel like there isn't much of a point...who is going to see me, you know? It'll be better/easier once school starts, I know.

All in all, moving has been a lot easier than I thought it would be. I'm definitely lonely, and I miss my Cleveland friends...but I'm adjusting better than I thought I would. It's definitely not a straight line up from here, but the starting point on the graph is a bit higher up than I previously thought...

So that's about it. I think I'm 5 minutes past the closing time here. More later, I promise. Now that I found this coffee shop, they're going to have problems getting me to leave!

great blog...can appreciate the 'walk around naked' thing, but no go for me with 2 teenage boys (don't want to frighten the children!) hope you get the 'net' hooked up soon and get some training in.

Glad the move went well. Now it's just getting your bearings, and organizing your stuff. Can't wait to see pics!

Glad you're getting settled - and that you still like the apartment!

I am with the nake stuff. Especially when i am alone. I walk around in my undies. Especially when it is a hot day or after a good training.

Good luck in your new place. The best part about living by youself is indeed the ability to walk around naked. Just make sure you close the blinds.

Welcome to Jersey!

New Brunswick is in a good location--close to New York, Philly and the Jersey shore.

My wife and I live south of Princeton near Trenton. We've been in New Jersey 6 years, though it seems like we just got here. It's definitely different than the midwest.

Good luck with the transition. Internet access is key!

Good luck adjusting to your move. It can be scary, but also fun. Just think of all the new experiences you are going to have!

Good to hear from you again. I'm probably not the only cyber older brother that's been checking up on you. Looking forward to hearing about your new adventures.

Glad to hear things are going well. I totally understand that naked thing in your apartment.

There is a lot to be said for being able to walk around naked. Just don't head over to the coffee shop that way!

I don't pretend that the walking around naked things hasn't affected Curly Su. Have you got your new Library card yet, so you don't have to buy any new books? I attempted that recently with a list a five books I wanted to read and they had none of them there! Whats with that!

Living in a new city can be so much fun to explore while running. Really enjoy that part of your life right now.
