short update

I have so many lovely friends here. It is so fun to bike and walk around. I went to one coop and realized what I had heard about Greenstar Coop having the second largest bulk section in the country, can NOT be true. It looks big in a small town--but the one at the Wedge is at least as big and there are other coops with similarly-sized bulk sections. Okay, but I like Greenstar anyway. I just like to complain about moving.

I have met up with other people also visiting from out of town. And they all say, yes, moving is incredibly hard, it tends to take a year to feel comfortable and adjusted at all, grad school is hard, but sticking to the move is important. So at least the feeling is universal. I had always felt like such a trooper before--life was never so hard. Now I am more sympathetic to people with depression, or I should say, I understand better.
