A love affair with Julia Roberts.

No. I did not actually have a love affair with Julia Roberts, but I bet it prompted you to read further :)

I just returned from watching the movie Eat. Pray. Love. Sad to say it, but that movie, the divine scenery and language of Italy, the serene peace and chaotic beauty of India, and the calmness and solitude in Bali have urked my hands, my mind and my soul into writing again.  Now my fingers move at lightning speed.  Thoughts bump into one another flying around in my head and my liver is smiling (line from the movie).  Not only my liver but my inner being is smiling because finally I found the passion to update my blog again.  It has been two months since I have written.  How sad!

I have been to Minnesota, Stamford, New York, through Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California in that time.  I have seen the Rockies, blue rivers, desolate desserts, sharp rocks, thick clouds and vast landscapes since then.

I am now living in San Diego.  I arrived here five weeks ago to begin my second Co-Op, thanks to Northeastern and my parents of course.   Surprisingly, this transition has not been as smooth as my other million.  In my time at Northeastern I have moved a lot.  Almost every six months for the past four years.  I enjoy seeing new places.  Diving into a different culture, lifestyle and routine.  San Diego has been completely different than all of my other experiences though.  I have struggled more, which I believe is good. Not necessarily to fit in, or meet friends, but more so to find peace within myself.

I do love it.  This city.  Don't get me wrong.

Now that I have seen this movie and began to reflect I am feeling a bit better and more ambitious.  I am excited for what life has in store for me and the new opportunities that I believe will arise.  For a moment or rather a month, I lost sight of the positive direction my life was headed and got wrapped up in well, other thoughts.

More to come, on my Co-Op job, life experiences, and the friends who are currently shaping my life!
