Seattle! The big city

So I'm here, finally. I spent a month between Olympia, Seattle, and Bellingham. But really mostly in Bellingham. I was probably putting off moving here, continuing my life, finding a job, facing the future, etc. So, let's see. I start a new job tomorrow, which is pretty damn quick if I do say so myself--three days here and I'm employed! It's a cafe/roaster that seems serious about its coffee so I'm pretty excited to be involved in it. Turns out, I love making coffee! I've also learned that I suck at Seattle in general. It is by far the largest city I've ever lived in, which makes moving around difficult and confusing. I've executed uncountable illegal traffic maneuvers thus far, with many more to come. I guess I just feel slightly lost all the time, with the complete unfamiliarity of everything. And everyone. It's shockingly different from Bellingham in this regard (as it clearly should be, I understand this). This seems both good and bad; I am aware that there are extremely cool people in this city but I don't quite know how to meet them. But, really, Bellingham began to feel claustrophobic and I realized that I'm done with it for the present. Terrible, as I felt it was the closest thing that I had to a home. Alas! I must make a new home for myself, somewhere. It seems somewhat difficult here.

...because I'm going to Costa Rica in January! From January until ?? Probably about three months but anything could happen. Traveling, organic farming, adventure! Everyone tells me they wish they would have done things like this at my age: before you can't. But, just as I predicted, I do want to leave soon after returning. I have no reason to be anywhere, so I might as well take advantage and travel! This is clearly not the time to get serious about my life!
