One Year Ago

A lot of blogs that have been around for awhile do fun little "One Year Ago..", "Two Years Ago..." etc. posts, which I love to click on. Every once in awhile I want to do something similar on my blog, but I haven't been writing nearly long enough or often enough to make it a regular thing. It's rarely even possible that dates line up to do it! Today, however, is an exception.

One year ago today, I wrote this post from my apartment in Charlottesville, VA. Re-reading it, it's almost hard for me to imagine the place I was in at that point, as it is so different from where I am right now. I'd just finished up a semester of teaching second grade in Virginia and was headed home for the holidays to find a job and move into the city as soon as possible. While I accomplished the former fairly quickly, the latter didn't happen for another six months. But now, six months after moving into my apartment, I feel extremely settled - very different from the scatterbrained post I wrote a year ago.

Oh yes, and please do join me in laughing at my final "plenty of amusement ahead" comment, because maybe you'll notice that I didn't write another post until April. Sorry about that...
