A roommates first impressions

I arrived in Philadelphia yesterday, and waited at a coffee shop (Lava) until one of my roommates (Erin) was off work. She met me there with their dog Sylvia, who is a blue pit bull mix. Sylvia is a bit territorial of the house, so Erin wanted her to meet me before I was there to start getting used to me :) The dog is gorgeous, and very well trained (she's going through professional training currently) and seems to magically remember who I am once I give her peanut butter......... :-D

I met one of my other roommates, Justin, when I got to the house, and the three of us went out for drinks (I for food) later that night. So here's what I've learned about the roomies so far: Erin is studying for her PhD in neuro-psychology and is an intern at a rehab hospital that specializes in brain damage (including strokes and such). Her partner (who also lives with us) is currently in Peru until Monday visiting her family (her dad is the health minister of the COUNTRY), so more on her later :) Justin is recently done with school, and is both a nutritionist and a chef (which is kind of awesome). He used to intern at a hospital in Parker, CO, so sometimes knows the places I talk about. Currently he works at a hospital in Jersey. He also was an intern for a woman who is a nutritionist/chef that caters for individuals by making meals that are healthy portions of really really good food, but recently she was asked to go to New York to film a show (it's the one on Food Network that is like-who will be the next Food Network Star-kinda thing-mom we watched this once) so he is now getting paid to run her business for at least the next month. They are both really nice, and seem very outgoing, so I think this was a good pick for me :) The area also seems to have many more people my age than where I stayed last year, which is nice.

Pictures will follow soon!!!!
