Transitions

So... a few weeks later, here I am again. Back to normal. Or to something closer to normal.

I now have a place to stay, with a normal and actually pretty cool roommate. I'm also better adjusted to school, so life is more orderly and I'm starting to develop routines, and man do I need them. Like my awesome voice teacher from Chekhov told me on Friday, if you have a place to sleep in and take a shower, then you can do everything else. A house is something we all take for granted, but when you live in a hotel and don't know who you'll bump into at breakfast, or get woken up at 4 a.m. by a coffee machine, you begin to appreciate it's importance.

Now that I'm more settled, what I feel is the need to have a family. I don't mean a literal one, because I already have one, but rather to develop deeper friendships and have a group of people to lean on and share life with. I think I'm on the right track, but of course all that takes time. I don't feel particularly homesick, but I do long for a world of my own, here. I think it's just a question of stomaching the moment, being strong and above all, patient. That said, I'm incredibly blessed by the support I encounter from all everyone in my life, wherever in the world they may be.

Looking forward to sharing more with my awesome readers sooner than not. Thanks everyone for sharing my journey!
