It would be naive of me to believe that this moment in my life is not one of those "defining moments." The last year has been a downward spiral into one of those,let's say, dark vortexes and I've just now been spit out on the other side. Thankfully, this other side has a rosier hue and lots of pretty flowers blooming (perhaps it's just spring!). Either way, I have a strong inclination that this next leg of my life is one that I may want to chronicle. Or creatively elaborate on.
I am currently T-15 days from leaving home base North Carolina and landing in the Pacific Northwest. My family has lived in NC since 2002, our longest stint in one location. I graduated high school in 2005, and just finished my undergrad last December 2009. I have two degrees, a BA in Theatre: Performance, A BFA in Creative Writing, and a little baby english minor. So quick peripheral answer to city in question: it is a pretty stellar location for the things I like to do and for returning back to school, whenever I so choose. I also am not completely foreign to the city; my family lived there when in the early 90's when I was 4-6yrs old. Also my mom has a couple of sisters that have called Washington their home for a good stretch of time. In this way, my transition will be much easier and I am so thankful for that. I come from a large family so it gives me some relief that while I will be far from my nuclear family, I will have relatives near by, and not the stodgy kind either. My whole extended family seriously rocks.
I'm going to do this first post in installments, because yes, I am a busy person and have errands to run. Ciao for now!
