Another big change
I moved to Seattle, WA.
Upon accepting a wildlife rehabilitation internship in Washington and dating the Matthew previously mentioned, I decided to move to Seattle. There were a whole lot of reasons pushing me to do it and a whole lot of people holding me back. It was a process to communicate this decision with my parents and friends, but I think overall I made the best decision that I could for myself. I am young, without attachments to a house, or serious job and I have never lived anywhere outside of California. The couple weeks I had visited Seattle before had only been enjoyable and I thought it was time for something new - another change.
I'm living in an old, and adorable, little two bedroom second floor apartment on top of a hill in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. We're in the heart of the city and walking distance to downtown. We can bike or bus to Pike Place Market or the aquarium and aren't far from all the other tourist attractions (like the Needle!). I still have yet to see a drag or burlesque show. I gotta get on that. Photos upcoming now that I've found my camera.
The minimum duration of the internship is 3 months, though I can't say for certain how long i'll be sticking around. When I left there was talk about 6 months, but I imagine it is all dependent on how tolerable Seattle winter is. 2 weeks in and I have only experienced a couple raindrops. The weather has actually been incredible. Hot, but not painfully so. The California native in me doesn't want to let go of her flippy floppies so i'm glad that weather permits.
This is, perhaps, the biggest change I've made in my life and i'm appreciative to all my friends who have stuck around and been supportive. I miss the crap out of you guys.
