in the right direction...but still up in the air

life is slowly coming together. i am no longer coloring dora in blaine but have moved in with my aunt, uncle and cousin. everything seems to be going well and i am very close to the pool that i am coaching at, which was not planned at all and is actually a nice perk. the drive to work is also pretty smooth...494, besides the bright, blinding sunlight in the eyes every morning is pretty easy going besides the hold up in bloomington.

so far i've coached 3 days and have enjoyed all of them. the coaches are amazing and, well...nice. which is a contrast from my last coaching experience. i'm trying to learn all of the kids names as fast as i can so i can easily get their attention to correct them. right now i'm in a funk where i will mention what i see to my co-coach and we chat about whether we need to mention it to the swimmer. it's been a little hard to get back into my coaching personality. each day is getting better.

other than that, i'm itching to get my own place. i haven't had a bedroom that is actually MINE since may. i'm not complaining as i am fortunate to everyone who has helped me out...but i really really miss my bed and all of it's down feathers. i have to wait another month before i can actually start figuring that out though...i need to figure out where i will be working. no word has really been said about whether i will stay at where i'm interning, all i know is that i will need a job! the downtown life was appealing to me, but now a place close to the pool is starting to look good. everything can change in a month though :)
