It's all over, blast!

Only a few more hours of freedom from the real world... In less than 12 hours I'll be at my first real job, wowing my new employers at the Eastern Research Group with my amazing skills (bow-hunting, computer-hacking) and incredible talent (tap dancing, tuba-playing). It's gonna be great!! I am quite excited for everything but the commute, which I'm still not sure about yet. My roommate Patrick and I might carpool to the metro sometimes but his schedule is pretty crazy so I don't know how often that'll happen. But maybe it won't be as bad as I think. Surely it won't. I can some up with some pretty bad things.

Oh and let me give you a quick list and description of my awesome roommates, since I haven't done that so far.

Tracy--26, is a graphic designer with her own business. She grew up on a beef farm in Kansas (go farm girls!), has two kitties--Napoleon and Mel--and just got engaged to...

Brian--28, who works for some consulting/accounting firm or something, from Minnesota. He's been in DC for 3 years and loves to watch (and once played) football. He is also a computer geek who randomly decided to "fix" my ancient laptop the day after I moved in (lol). It's nowhere near like-new, but it's the thought that counts.

Sam--22, short for Samantha, works as an environmental planner, is an organic vegetarian, and worked on a CSA farm this summer (yay for green people!). She's the second of 5 children and had a really cool environmental/literature/policy-type major in college at UVA after transferring from FSU after her freshman year.

Patrick--25? works for a (the?) West Virginia senator on Capitol Hill. He majored in biology but randomly got an internship in DC during his undergrad and decided to go into politics. He's a very witty guy and reminds me of a cross between Iceman and Shawn Plunkett, if you know those guys.

Everyone is really cool so far and I've had a good time getting to know them. It's still kinda weird, though, because everyone is usually so busy it's hard to have a very in-depth conversation to get a real grasp on who they are (so far). But I'm sure with time everything will become clearer.

I'm not worried (about some things). But I am going to go take a shower and go to bed and hopefully to sleep now.
