Living on my own, without roommates or family, has been an enlightening experience. Trying to figure out meals, best way to lower energy costs, and how to keep cool when the temperature spikes at 90* is exciting.
Today knowing how warm it was going to be I've spent my entire day at the public library, soaking up their air conditioning and enjoying having internet again.
Without much furniture yet by apartment is organized as such:
Kitchen: no dining room table but 4 folding chairs... nothing special.
Living room: inflatable mattress, book shelf, world's ugliest chair, tv, tv stand... my living room is doubling as my bedroom for now
Bedroom: 4 tubs of clothes, artwork, and a metal bed frame.
Kitty and I are adapting fine to the hodge podge of the apartment, but I can honestly say I can't wait till by parents arrive this weekend!!!

Being a giraffe with low self esteem
I've once again earned the nick name "giraffe". Why you may ask? Well for the obvious reasons of ridiculously long legs I've also been graced with the longest neck in my EMT class... Yes, of the 15 people in the class, me being the only woman, I have the longest neck. Might I also add that I'm about average in my class when it comes to height. How did we find this out? Well c-collars are adjustable with a couple of settings:
No neck
Short
Regular
Long
You'll never guess which one I ended up in! Yes, long... so my loving teacher laughed and called me a giraffe and it stuck.
I try so hard to embrace being tall... but sometimes its hard as hell to do. Shopping is the worst. Buying pants is impossible, and shirts with long enough sleeves is hard too. I was goofing off with some girl friends looking at wedding dresses in a local store, the lady there estimated that it was going to cost over $1000 for me to get a dress that fit my funky proportions.
I hate having to look down to talk to people, it feels disrespectful, especially when it's a professor.
I want to embrace and love myself but its really hard...
