I started swearing again today.
It's not something I'm particularly proud of or ashamed of. I guess, mostly, it happens, and i know it doesn't last forever, so I've stopped stressing about it.
Sometimes the words just come out.
check out the other posts regarding swearing for the update.
I had a great first day of Writers workshop, i made it thru the scary bus system without getting totally lost, and i am proud of myself.
I'm glad to be going back to school. I'm not yet freaking out about housing. But, I'm missing family, missing the routine of things and places i knew, missing even my coworkers. missing my church.
so, i almost swore in class. This also becomes part of the drama with swearing. Where is the appropriate place to let it fly, and when should i refrain? I've let it fly in worse places than class, i just thought that maybe, today, i didn't want to be the first person to swear in class. Instead, i came home and swore.
it helps. and i like that it helps.

hey claire
welcome to Seattle. I know of 2 MHGS grads who need roommates. any interest in looking into it?
hey girl. claire, oh claire, oh claire. that's really all i can say. still identifying with all that you say...we really are so alike in so many ways. struggling myself with similar things, even though some of them are things i've never struggled with before! uggh! =P at least we are in it together. =)
i really hope you will find "home" there in seattle and find many joys in all the change.
btw. Jeff (my spouse) says you're headed into the right school. Swearing happen at MHGS. With good reason. hopefully you've found some rest before being plunged into everything on the schedule for the next week. MH doesn't seem to believe in having first years begin rested. Well socialized but not rested.
