Live free or die

Well folks, I’m in New Hampshire. Sorry these posts are clumped together, but my internet is sketchy so I post when I can.

I’ve met my three roommates and they all seem really cool. I think we will get along really well. One of them quilts and another knits and spins wool. This is very good especially since I have just made it my goal to learn to spin again.

The apartment we are in has the weirdest floor plan I have ever seen. It has two biggish bedrooms with nice sized closets and then two bedrooms that aren’t even really bedrooms. No closests, the circuit breaker is in one of them, and they are really small. Weird… But we are making it work. Last night we all started unpacking; starting with all the pretty stuff we hung all over. We even have a Welcome sign hanging on the front door. How cool are we.

In other news, I’ve decided to adopt the New Hampshire state motto, “Live free or die”. I have a couple reasons for this.

1. It is a great battle cry. Try yelling it at the top of your lungs, you’ll like it. Come on, try J

2. My friend Rusty has a theory. If you appear more unstable than everyone around you, no one will mess with you. What is more unstable than 1)?

3. I guess since I am in New England I should learn more about the history of the place. I’m assuming the motto comes from the revolution, so consider me learned. (Okay, that’s a stretch, but I needed a number three).

I start work today. We have training for about a month before we really get down to it, but I’m excited to see how this will all work out. I’ll let you know how it goes.
