(Posted a little late- oops):
There are boxes everywhere and the paint is barely dry, but I'm in! Friday the 7th was moving day and it was quite successful. My parents' gift of a moving company was an incredible present. I can't imagine having to move my washing machine, sofa, bed, etc. up those stairs! My first night in the condo went fairly well except for the loud crash in the middle of the night. I had just gotten into bed and turned off the light after unpacking boxes when somewhere in the recesses of my new place, a precariously perched parcel decided to plummet to the ground. I jumped out of bed and held my 18 inch Maglite flashlight as a weapon, ready to defend my new home. Luckily, my ninja skills were not necessary that night and I found the offending package instead of an intruder. Other than the attack of cardboard boxes, I feel very safe in my new place. My neighbors are friendly and watchful (a major plus of living in a community with several retired persons), my condo is on the top floor, and I am in a quiet area. This is my new neighborhood - and it's a beautiful day there. (Do you like the Mr. Rogers allusion? I try to keep it fresh). =)

Updated Notes on a Blog
I am using the blog now as a random posting spot for the major events of my life. I realized how much I miss the process of writing. While in England, I thoroughly enjoyed composing entries. Though I'm back in the States, I suppose I do not need to stop! I won't keep a daily record as I did then, but I will post for moments I find significant or interesting. I hope you enjoy! Feel free to comment as you wish.
A note on the older posts:
The blog during the months of June through August, 2007 is a chronicle of my time at Exeter College at Oxford University in Oxford, England. Instead of writing in a journal, I kept a cyber-record of each day to reflect on my experiences and share the stories with all of you. I appreciated all of those who took the time to read my ramblings, and I loved the feedback I received. The communication made me feel connected and I enjoyed reading your responses!
Cheers!
Liz
