Sitting at Java Love Cafe sipping Chamomile tea with my roommate, Jon.

I just met a young person! How encouraging!
Apparently there are more young people than I thought. Christian, one of these newly found young people, said that in the summer months, there are often young people sitting outside of Java Love Cafe sipping tea and playing music, something that I miss immensely about Nashville. That’s exactly what I wanted to hear. I am feeling much more hope than I felt for the last week or so. I feel like I can meet friends here, as long as I put myself out there and TRY.

Also, after the weenie roast last night, I realized that I’m not as antisocial as I had perceived. I had a great time, and really want to get to know the Hawkins students more.
One particular student, by the name of Darlene, really struck a cord in me last night, and I would love to spend more time with her.

Kowabunga!

Upon sitting, sipping, typing, I met a very friendly, chipper individual by the name of Rin. She is a musician, and handed Jon and I a copy of her newly concluded album. I learned that there is a place called Perspectives Art Gallery located in Uptown Sedona, where they host a static trance dance assembly on Thursday nights at 7 o’clock. Jon is very interested in attending.

Well, that’s all I have to blog about currently.

Love.

P.S. I just found the most awesome website. What should I read next? A nerd like me would love that.
