Finally here

After what seems like an eternity of planning and worrying I finally did it: I'm a Chicagoin..sorta. It was a LONG, LONG trip!



I've been in the city for a week and two days now. but I still sort of feel like I'm on vacation. There's a lot of excitement that comes with this move, but under it is a little sadness. Who expects to be homesick just days after moving away? The sadness certainly took me by surprise.



I think of my quirkey ex coworkers (some of which call me religiously to see how I'm doing), my family, friends from the hall...its easy to take them for granted and its hard to figure out how exactly we became friends (or what exactly we are now). Today I'm setting out to meet new people and make new friends and it made me wonder: how do any of us make friends? Google says to join a running club, a cooking class or have lunch with my coworkers. In fact, google says that its socially critical to have lunch with one person a week (does the guy at the wholefoods counter count?).

Whatever the case may be, one thing is for sure: my goal today is to meet three new people. Because honestly: when going to Whole Foods has become the highlight of your day...its time to do something new.
