emigrating

Moving has been a prominent part of my life since I was young. I seem to do it a lot yet. Last week I moved to the other side of town. Now I'm moving several towns away. I'll probably move again after summer. Do you know the difference between emigrating and immigrating? I've gotten empty sentiments from roommates when lately hauling things away. Do I call them old roommates now, though last week they didn't need the prefix? Well, whatever I guess.

I'm hopefully going to Philadelphia for spring break this year. I signed up to volunteer at the Society for Photographic Education. Eight hours of commitment and afterward I'm free to see all the lectures and meet some interesting people. It's quite the car ride. If anyone is headed in that direction, let me know.

My whole impetus for moving home is saving money. I'm due to travel in Europe this summer and my last stop is Romania. Oh man, the homeland. Among things, I have a brother to meet and a history to rebuild. Perhaps I'll even change my voicemail for when I'm gone. It would be something ridiculous, I'll promise.
