City girl

Despite being ecstatic about moving downtown, I was a little nervous about what it would do to my commute to work. So far it hasn't been too bad at all. There was a week where there was a ton of traffic getting into the city, but for the most part it hasn't been all that bad. I only have to leave a little earlier in the morning, and best of all I discovered they opened a Dunkin' Donuts not too far from me. The crowd in Dunkin' Donuts at 6 a.m. is an interesting one. They're not just stopping in quickly on their way to work like I am; they've been there for awhile sitting and chatting when I show up.

Living in the city has been great. I've done more in the month and a half I've been living downtown than I probably did the whole rest of the summer. It's worth the extra money and the extra time in the car in the morning. Every Saturday morning there is a farmers market in Cathedral Square. I've gone and walked through a few times. Every Thursday in the summer there's Jazz in the Park right outside my door. On Sunday's I journey over to the East Side and study for the GRE at Altera. The lake is only a short four block walk away. I can basically walk anywhere I could possibly need to go, other than work of course. Concerts, drinks, dinners, I've done it all since moving down here. This girl belongs in the city.
