Q: Put me on speed dial in case anything happens!

If love transcends all matter, space and time, my physical being could really use some right now. Today’s officially my second week in Baltimore, while most decision making was a product of my own thoughtful judgment, I fail to acknowledge the side of me who was constantly surrounded with friends. It is not to say I can’t stand being alone. I personally know I can be at some point in time, but strictly speaking, my colony of crowd happens to be JHU students. We have almost nothing in common; brain space, ambition, and the air of superiority that goes with it. But I am lucky to have CarmenS. That sealed the deal for me and I told myself, I can totally do this shit.

Some good friends have been keeping me company. My Skype is never idle, people just call whenever they please and right now, they wish to hear about my new place and would hang for a bit till an hour or two. Lihee took almost three hours of my time, but it was worth it. The healing experience for the both of us was commendable, I believe. She isn’t aware that I too was in peril, good timing I suppose on her part. HJ calls ever so frequently as well, checking on my wellbeing and being the big sister that she is, asks what I have for dinner and so forth. Of course, she adopts the lovely title of being my “lover” (being single has its privileges) when in fact, I think she is just an overly concerned senior.

I guess I am just trying to adjust to my new life here. Facts and reality need digestion. While my childish self has yet to warrant acceptance of the situation, it is only a matter of time this whole process is of the past and all I have to focus on is the future. 

Frozen pizza anyone?
