One Year

As of August 27th, 2008, I have officially lived in Seattle for one year.

I'd be lying if I said I was the same person that I was when I left Columbia. So many things about myself have changed (and I don't really feel the need to lay them out here as you can get a pretty accurate measure of what has changed about me just by reading my blog).

As of now, I feel like I'm floundering when I should be feeling like a million bucks.

I finally landed an internship that is designed to get me into grad school and I even get paid for it! The setbacks: low hours, and really, right now all I am doing is insurance crap for athletes.

Maybe it's just my mood (why aren't the endorphins kicking in!?) and maybe today isn't a good day to write this entry even though I've been putting this off for awhile.

What is a fact, though, is that I love living in the city. I don't see myself going anywhere else anytime soon even if my "floundering" feelings tend to give me wanderlust or homesickness.

I am where I'm supposed to be and although I'm poor as shit (especially right now) I know that things are on the up and up.

I just got to figure out how to make things happen.

And I think I need some M&Ms.
