I just got back from a day of shopping with Nat and Molly. We decided we needed some new clothes for the start of school. They both informed me that as a single girl, I need to make sure I'm putting my best foot forward. It's so weird. Josh and I have been broken up since January and yet it's taken me almost 9 months to feel like a single girl. Maybe I'm actually coming to terms with things. I don't care what the explanation is. I just know that I'm feeling happier than I have in a really long time and that is a good thing.

This weekend I'm going up to Connecticut to hang out with Lauren and Alex. That's the cool thing about starting school later than everyone else - I get to go visit them before I get stuck in the thick of things. I have also been invited to go visit Mark in Boston. I've never been there so I think I'll go. He suggested that I visit over Halloween weekend so that we can go to Salem. That sounds like so much fun!

Henry has set up the dance lessons at his hotel that we talked about a few months ago. I'm going to be teaching beginners Ballroom and Latin there on Tuesday nights. I'm so excited about this. It will be my own class. I've always helped to teach someone else's class so this is big for me. I'm so excited!
