Box After Box…

I’m here. I’m at my “home away from home”. My school. My work. [Most of] my friends. Washington, D.C.

Today I arrived back in the city, and it’s been a busy day already. After unloading the trailer (it’s shocking how much stuff I have–doesn’t seem possible), grabbing some lunch at the Good Stuff Eatery–which was absolutely incredible–, and doing some shopping at CVS, the bike shop and Trader Joe’s (always a good idea), here I am, feeling a bit overwhelmed in my apartment. My parents have headed back to the Iris Inn in Waynesboro, VA for the night and I’m here being consumed by cardboard boxes and clothes I’d totally forgotten I had.

Because of the aforementioned overwhelmingness, this has got to be a short post. But for what it’s worth, I’m here, back in D.C., alive, and if anyone wants to help clean and/or unpack, by all means give me a call.

Tomorrow will likely be full of mostly more cleaning, unpacking, etc. but I’m hoping to get a couple of blog posts up that I’ve got in the works:

• First, a quick (and outrageously biased) review of my sister‘s most recent book, Boneshaker.
• Second, a look at my return to D.C. after spending a semester in Denmark: my thoughts on the feel of the city, American culture in general and how my personal views have changed on the city (and in other ways). [note: this one could be long, and might not happen tomorrow!]

Anyway, I’m getting back to work. Lots to unpack.
