So every morning when I get up I mark on my calender how many days I've been here. I'm not counting down, I'm actually counting up. I figured this way I can keep track of how long I last. Thus far it's been 13 days. I am still umemployed, however I've been learning the in on Roxx's job. For those who don't really know Roxx is my roommate. His actual name is Rodrigo, but only to friends. I suppose we aren't quite there yet. Getting there for sure though. Roxx is a DJ, Website designer, and heartthrob to the male species. He's certainly an interesting character and quite long winded. I find myself caught in conversations that seem to be endless and repetetive. At least he talks to me right?
The weather is wonderful if you like 80 degrees in November. I guess I'm aright with it, but it definitely doesn't feel like Thanksgiving is around the corner. It sort of adds to the surrealness of the situation. I'm sure I sound like a brat but think about it, I'm a born/bred New England girl. A winter without snow is ODD to say the least. It's like toast without jam, eggs without ketchup, cookies with no chocolate chips. You get my point. The palm trees loose their glam after awhile.
Anyways. in many ways I feel like a visitor here. I go the the beach and look around me and it's all tourists. People on vacation, sipping cocktails, taking it all in, but knowing it's just for a short while. The beach however is beautiful. When I start to feel a little claustrophobic in my apartment, in the city in general, I go to the beach and embrace the vastness of the ocean; or let it embrace me. I remember that I want to be here.
I guess I sort of skipped a lot, but I'm not one to record all the details. My apartment is big and certainly beginning to feel like home. Roxx is on my level with decor and cleanliness which is great. He let's me know when my shoes don't match and when my hair isn't falling quite right. He even came in in the clutch this morning when I had a mini breakdown getting ready for an interview and realized I didnt' have a hair dryer. Lo and behold he had one, along with several other hair products I am lacking, and saved the day.
I don't really have a solid way to end this, I'm brand new at the blogging thing. Just know that I am here in Miami Beach surviving off of UV rays and Lean Cuisine and doing just fine.
