The Gypsy Life

So, things have been pretty crazy lately. I've been living out of a suit case, and not because I'm too lazy to unpack. I haven't lived anywhere for more than 2 weeks at a time. I moved on June 29th and haven't really stayed put since. I think it was the day before I moved, I found out that the woman we were planning on me staying with was going to be moving in August, so only living there a month was to be expected. However, two weeks into my stay Nebraska Baha'i School occurred. I went to that especially to see my mom (I was quite homesick at this point because home I knew was no longer actually home). I did get to meet some pretty awesome youth, and reconnect with some equally awesome people too. Plus a refresher on book 5 is always welcome. :) So a few days after I get home from Nebraska I get a call asking if I might be available to house sit. Since the house didn't need much more than for someone to live in it, I accepted. That ends on the third, and then on the 13th I'm moving to yet another house. I guess to sum that up:
Got here.
Was here for two weeks.
Went to Nebraska.
Was back for a few days.
House sitting for a week and a half.
Go back to first house for a few days shy of two weeks.
Move to new house.
All within a month and a half.

I've learned that I am not one to hop around from place to place. Sure, I love traveling, but I want to come back somewhere that I have roots. I like being able to be somewhere long enough to actually know where things go. It's amazing how comforting it is to know where things belong. Right now, I'm subsisting. I really want to be efficient though. However, efficiency comes with time and learning. We'll just see how this all goes.

TADA!

I now have wireless internet set up in the house where I am currently living. :) I've been having to learn a lot more about computers lately because of having to get mine set up.

The woman I am living with just got internet on Wednesday and so I set everything up for her. This has definitely proved to be a learning experience because I had never had to set up and install a modem before. Same with the wireless router. All is good now! It's really great to be able to be in my room and talk to people online. Anyone up for a video chat? :P

So far things have been slowly building up. The weekends are the busiest with the IPG efforts, and I've had quite a bit of down time during the week. I'm hoping to find some devotional meetings that go on during the week so I can build up contacts and such. I'm really excited for this weekend because my friend Hannah is going to come and help for 10 days, and I'm going to be hanging out with the family that I stayed with last summer. It's going to be really nice to be around someone that I actually know. :) It's been hard for me in that respect (being homesick), but I'm sure as time goes by and things get busier, all will be well.
