My visit thus far....

So I made it to Massachusetts alive after being up for thirty hours straight, three planes, and a car ride. When I finally got to my uncle's house I ate some lunch and played guitar for about an hour and half. I passed out after that. When I woke up it was pitch black and my Uncle was telling me that we were going to go to dinner at a sushi joint in downtown Amherst. It was a nice little place, I really didn't order what I was in the mood for (curry) but it was okay and filled me up. I really need to get some pictures to show what kind of town Amherst is. I would describe it best as a college town, and extremely liberal. I really don't feel threatened at all here and I'm looking foward to my move here.

My uncle took me to the place I would be living, and let me tell you it's nicer than my house in Ohio! Like godly nice, it's really beyond belief I feel incredibly lucky and thankful. The house that the condo is in was actually some sort of dance hall during the 1800s.

I found out that the University down here gives a lot of benefits to their transgendered students, and I plan on meeting with someone down there on Tuesday afternoon to discuss with them exactly what I need to do to get into this program. I can finally get some health insurance if I get in, which will be nice considering I've had to pay for all of my transition costs out of my pocket.

I've done a lot of sleeping here needless to say, and let me tell you I've needed it traveling has been hard on my stomach and my appetite has gone down the hole. I went to this really nice restaurant today, I had tofu like I've never had it and it was really good. If there's one thing I have to say that is different about this place than Ohio it would be the food, there are a million more choices and everything (for the most part) is edible, asin not unhealthy to the point of causing a heart attack.

Been sort of depressed today I really need to find out what I want to do for an occupation. I want to play music badly. I'm not sure though if that will be something that is realistic or not whether I can do anything with a guitar or not. Eh....maybe it's not worth thinking about it'll just make me even more unhappy. I just wish I could get some sort of guidance and suggestions about what I should do. My family here in MA has done a great job in helping me, so maybe I should ask them more questions. Not only do I want to do something worthwhile and contribute to society instead of drain for what it's worth, but I want to be happy, I want to be myself, and I just want to be absolutely sure about the direction I am going in life (occupation-wise).
