Erin: Exciting year ahead!

Well, I am finally getting a chance to sit down and write a blog entry.
I am really loving living in our community here in Riley court. My favorite parts of living here are the great community meals, conversations with others in the community, and the effort of everyone in the community to make this experience great!
I am really excited that we have already implemented many of our ideas such as composting, having a community meal once a week, meeting with mentors, and sharing cleaning duties. Everything is going much smoother then I ever thought would be possible.
As usual I am swamped with school work, practicing, and other commitments. This is sometimes really stressful and I regret not being able to be with people from Ubuntu more throughout the week. However, I still feel like a very important part of the community and I enjoy coming home at the end of the day to a great group of people and friends.
I am excited to see what the rest of the year will bring. I know that it will not always be as smooth sailing as it has been so far, but I know that we will learn a lot about each other and about living simply and in community.
