I fit in?? weird...
Here's the scoop from Colorado...
I've been here a month now and it feels like a year...the amount that I have accomplished is insane. I really think I've slept outside about the amount I have inside since living here. I have been to Redfeather, Breckenridge, Telluride, Pikes National Forest, Vedauwoo-Wyoming, Eldora area, etc. Plus a little bit of climbing in Boulder Canyon. It really has been phenomenal.
Even though I'm living in Frederick, I hang out in Boulder most of the days and will be even more because I officially got a j.o.b.! Got a job at Apple and am really excited about it actually. It's not quite what I thought I'd be doing, but when does anything ever go as I planned? I think it's going to be a great experience, so I start training on Saturday! For a part time job, I think it's going to be just jim dandy. Plus, it'll allow me to spend more time in Boulder. The best part about Boulder is that I actually fit in...weird how that works. I'm not the only one wearing Chacos. I'm not the only one with too many bumper stickers on my car. I'm not the only one with roof racks on my car. In Texas, people used to ask me what the racks were for...here it's just a known fact. And it's actually pretty normal to walk around with climbing chalk marks on my pants. So ya, I'd say this works for me. Plus, Boulder always has awesome live music. Big bonus in my book. Probably the only reasons I wouldn't fit in is because I don't own a Subaru and I don't have weed in my glove compartment.
Don't get me wrong, I do miss things about Texas. I miss my friends, and the psycho squirrels at TCU. I miss the ridiculous memories on the nasty disease driven Trinity River. And I will sadly admit that I miss two-stepping! I'm not one to listen to country music, but I miss me some country dancin. I need to find a country bar here. Luckily the one bar I have made my "home" thus far reminds me a lot of Bull & Bush in fort worth...just bigger. It's kinda this old folky bar with darts, pool, and shuffleboard. Plus, they have hoolahoops sittin around for drunken pleasure. Always a plus.
So work starts on Saturday..trying to figure out what to do in the meantime. Any ideas??! I'm excited to start work, make some money...but i really hate the adjustment of not being able to do things when I want. That's kinda a hard transition for me (wonder why..haha). I just have to keep in mind that I need to make money to do my Volkswagen Van trip this summer! Eyes on the prize.
I've been sitting in Whole Foods for about 4 hours now, so I guess I'll go home. haha. Later gators!
