Mood Swings in New York

Mom had mentioned to me today that she could kind of tell my moods from my blog post.  Apparently when I got here it was obvious that I was excited and then she could tell that I was a little down on life in the big city.  Luckily she suspects from my current writing that I am once again happy.

It takes a while to adjust to life in different places.  When I moved to Hawaii I loved it until Ashley went to Texas and then I spent countless hours texting Michelle in California about how lonely I was.  

The same thing happened when I moved here.  I starting thinking I was crazy for leaving my family and friends but when I think about it, I only have two people in Lubbock that I miss a lot.  Everyone is gone and my life there is history.  

New York is definitely the place for me to be right now and I am enjoying myself and learning a lot about who I am and who I want to be.  I have great friends that are all so different from one another. 

The people in New York are not from New York.  I rarely run into people that were born here and therefore everyone has something else to bring to the table.  Also, for the first time ever my life isn't revolving around sports.  I miss that a little bit and I am joining a league in January so I will make a few volleyball friends.  

I was explaining to my Lubbock friends that my new friends joke about different things.  As opposed to immature jokes they have a sarcastic tone and often refer to things that I don't even understand. It's interesting to meet so many people that have a broader view on life than I do.  It refreshing and I enjoy the humility it crams down my throat, haha, but really.
