The People’s Republic of Boulder

There’s no sense mentioning this is my first blog in a long time. That much is painfully obvious. I should mention, however, a few reasons why: I moved to Boulder. Ok, so that was just one reason, but it pretty much encompasses every other smaller reason why I’ve been a mute as far as wordpress is concerned for a month. I moved the day after my last post, my roommates and I came up a bit early to acclimate ourselves to Boulder and our new home. The house is pretty nice, though the first few days it didn’t appear like it was going to be that way. Between the caked on grease, dirty dishes in the cabinets, and the coke straw in the kitchen, we started out on this path a little wary to say the least. Paint, Lysol and elbow grease can settle even the most skeptical mind, and after applying the three, we finally settled in. The first order of business was to get to know Boulder a little better (for me anyway). This proved easier than I thought it would and I quickly started looking for jobs. Even that ended up being much less difficult than I expected; I started my new job at McGuckin Hardware a week after I moved to the city. I started to feel very comfortable with the groove I was settling into. And that’s when school started and threw everything off.

Ok, speaking of school, I have a 9 am in the morning and taking the bus there means I have to get up even earlier than I should, so part 2 of this will have to come tomorrow night.
