Post One, Still Domestic...and Domesticated?

Hello everyone!

So after much procrastination, I've finally created my blog. At some point in the near future, I will be attempting to put up my pictures from the Iceland trip I went on this past August, and as time goes on, I will be blogging from New Zealand as often as I can and hopefully posting pictures too.

Anyway, at this very moment, I'm back in Hartford visiting friends and pseudo-family before I head out on Sunday morning to Los Angeles. [My group flight to Auckland, New Zealand is on Monday afternoon so I'm spending a day in L.A.] I arrived here in Hartford on Monday night by the mighty Greyhound bus, 7 hours late. Thus far, my average number of hours being late while traveling Greyhound is 8.3. As a result, I may be backing off of bus travel for a little while.

Aside from spending quality time with the boyfriend and my lovely friends here, I feel like all I've been doing is sleeping, packing, and cleaning. I'm loving the Swiffer. I've cleaned two rooms so far (those unamed few with the train wreck you call a common room should be mentally thanking me right now), and I'm eagerly anticipating a third. This is very bizarre and not normal, but I guess I can embrace it for now, especially since I'll be living in a small cabin once I get to the EcoQuest campus.

For now, I will leave the blogging, as Bollywood night with Chris is commencing (hindi movie + ordering-in Indian food), followed by a potential visit to Vernon Street (aka the fraternity and cultural house avenue on campus), but I'll be back in touch and hopefully posting pictures quite soon.

Peace!
