Well, I've officially spent my first week in Denver! The week was a little hectic and included a near miss on an interview. Luckily, the interview went exceptionally well (despite getting lost and arriving late). There's nothing as comforting as knowing that you'll be able to pay your bills, and both my coworkers and roommates are shaping up to be pretty awesome!
Overall, I've had a fantastic week. I don't know many people in the area, but the few people I know eagerly welcomed me to the city with a weekend full of great music and food. I've gotten lost in the more times than I can count, but I've always managed to get where I'm going. When I accepted my job, my entire lifestyle changed. At first, I was worried that I would lose myself in the daily grind, yet I still function with a minimalist mentality. I don't have many possessions; I sleep on an air mattress and only have 3 DVDs. Life doesn't get any better.
Adjustment wise, I'm still getting used to living in a city. Denver, CO is several times larger than Bloomington/Normal, IL. I have four reference points in the city: my house, my place of employment, the Bluebird Theater, and a friends apartment, but I'm starting to get the hang of things. Foolishly, I worried myself into a frenzy about settling down, but the truth is, moving to Denver and making a home of my own is one of the biggest adventures I've ever embarked on.
