Slight Hiatus--potentially indefinitely?

Tunes:"Windowsill"// Arcade Fire

Things have been a-changing. I'm unsure of where to begin--so instead, I'll summarize.
-No more dude, we're just friends. 4 hours and a staggering inability to talk things out have made this a necessary development. It's been a month since this has transpired, but I'm finally in a place where I'm sort of over it all.
-New boss? Rules. Love the woman. She's helped me really take ownership of my halls and my position at this school I'm still at. She's aware that I'm planning on leaving by the end of the year, which is also nice-- all my coworkers know that I'm intending on finding a new job after this year is over, and having that fully out there as common knowledge makes me feel 1) we're all on the same page with things & 2) that I'd better move my ass and find a new job come the spring, especially since everyone expects me do now. Motivation is good.
-I've adopted a kitten. I needed some constant company. His name is Delorean and is wonderful-- though kitten status makes for a really rambunctious cat and I sometimes want to just hold him and say "STOP RUNNING FOR 2 SECONDS!"...but he's adorable and fun to snuggle with. AND now I feel like I have someone/something to direct my thinking-out-loud to.
-"I'm doing me"...while quoting rapper Drake is sort of lame, it's very true. Since shifting my focus on that boy in Burlington, I have become increasingly more aware of the changes I should be making in my own life. So. Time for that. I'm completely vegetarian again, with intentions of going vegan come January...sooner if I can muster it (but I know that holidays will make no dairy or egg incredibly difficult). So far I've omitted eggs, aside from in any breads/baked good I might eat, and milk...all soy, all the time. Cheese is killing me, though. I love my salad at lunch everyday with some feta in it. But. I will allow myself to keep that little bit for a while and then come January, the gloves come off.
-Up next: Boston. I've decided to focus my job search 100% on Boston. I'm done screwing around. I want to be THERE. Not here. Not NH. Not Vermont. Not Virginia (though, that's sort of a lie...). BOSTON. So. I WILL find a job there. I WILL move there next summer and I WILL become an official Massachusetts resident-- if anything for a few more years.

Which brings me to the real point of this post.
It's time for a new blog. I am not transplanted. In fact, I am incredibly immersed in New England life and only see myself becoming more-so in the near future. So. I'll leave this blog to bookmark my post-undergrad years and start something new (probably a tumblr) for my post-grad years. That's the plan at least.

I hope to get into writing online more again. Whenever I did this in the past, I felt like I had more sanity. Here's hoping I can get it together. Thanks for reading, though. Family & friends--you mean the world to me. Find me elsewhere on the interweb! kbye!
