This Must Be The Place

When I went to Puerto Rico I remember feeling like I woke up one day and I could speak Spanish. There was no learning involved just one night I went to bed not speaking and the next day I understood everything. I know this is not how it worked but it is funny how you reach points in your life where things change so quickly you wake up say to yourself "Oh right I get it".
This week has been like that for me. After months of struggling with all the changes that have happened in the last few months, tonight while riding home on my bike I have an "oh right I get it" moment. It is not like one thing changed today but for some reason I now feel like I made the right choice for me moving up here and going back to school. Somethings have changed: I now use the word "odds ratio" more than I used to and I think I get what it means, I have friends (or at least people I talk to in class), I feel like my apartment is home now (even if it is 32 degrees), and I look forward to my bike ride when I wake up in the morning. It feels good to feel this way let me tell you.
The title of this post is a Talking Heads- This Must Be The Place I love this song and listening to it makes me smile and bob my head I don't know why. Listen to the song and see if you feel the same way!

Blimpin'

Last Friday night Bryan and I were walking down Grand Ave when we saw a blimp up in air:
Bryan: Check out the blimp
Me: What do you think it is doing?
Bryan: Blimpin' (then he starts singing) Big blimpin' On B.L.A.P.'s

So today is 8 years since Bryan and I went on our first date* and this exchange above shows why the last 8 years have been so much fun.



*hey BTZ if I put it on my blog does it mean I am right about the date?
