Well, it’s that time again. I’m moving to Middletown, this time into a multi-family dwelling with several Wesleyan students. How did this happen, you ask? Gather ’round, kids. I graduated from Eastern CT State University last spring, after which I got a job in East Hampton. Since I was doing the Eastern/Willimantic thing, it was ok, until Jill left for graduate school in North Carolina. I’m pretty well situated here in CT, but there’s really no reason for me to stay in Willimantic. I love the town, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve heard too many “black hole ” tales wherein an unsuspecting individual enters Willimantic and never comes out alive.

So I charted a radius around East Hampton, then researched interesting communities within commuting distance. I came up with Middletown, and took the first (relatively) non-sketchy, affordable place I found. I hope I didn’t jump into this- I’ve yet to meet one roommate. I guess I don’t really care (I’m not picky), but social anxiety is wreaking havoc on me. Thank heavens I have Alex to help me move tomorrow. The van, lifting power, and extra set of hands all help, but it’s the company I’m truly grateful for. Wish me luck!
