Quarter-life crisis.

I've started a few new posts and haven't felt any sense of urgency to finish them. Tonight is a different story. I feel the need to put my thoughts down in writing. I have been in Arkansas for one full week. Today was the official marking of one full week away from Michigan. Surprisingly, I feel that I am adjusting rather well. Although the people here are slightly different and little but more back-woods than I had imagined, they really aren't THAT much different than the people I am used to in St. Charles. Nothing else really seems that different than home. The weather hasn't been to much worse than home and surprisingly I am adjusting to that rather nicely. I've already noticed changes in my attitude and I feel like there has been a sense of relief coming with this move. I feel more ambitious and less down in the dumps all the time. And really my only complaint at the time being is that I need to find something to do during the day until I can find a job to fill up my extra time. I'm getting a little antsy without a job, but I know that in time I'll find one that I absolutely love. I honestly truly believe that at this point in my life, this was the perfect step I needed to take. Everything is going to work out for the best and I am coming to terms with whatever that means exactly. My life is going to start looking up and everything is going to fall perfectly into place, that I am perfectly sure of!

I've scoped out a few churches here. So I think in the next few weeks I'm going to check them out and see what all they have to offer. The only complaint on that subject is that most of the churches here are Baptist or Methodist or something of that sort. Not that those are bad churches, but I have a feeling that they wouldn't be quite what I was looking for. I guess I don't know for sure unless I check them out.
