virginia is for lovers.
i'm horrible at updating this damn thing. sorrryyyy.
i don't even really know what has caused to me write here today. just feeling a little nostalgic and vulnerable i guess. and i have pms- prob doesn't help.
i guess i'll just jump right into it. i moved. to virginia. I KNOW FUCKING CRAZY, RIGHT?! well, my boyfriend john got an incredible job offer in northern va that i just couldn't let him refuse. he asked me to go with him and at first i was extremely hesitant. pick up my life? for a guy? heeeellllllllll no! but then i started to think about it. what do i have for me in nj? nothing. i had already decided i wasn't going to continue with my masters degree at this point in my life and i was unemployed with absolutely no job prospects. the economy in nj is horrible and the job market is dry. unfortunately for me, psychology was the dumbest thing i could ever get my bachelors in. way too vague, and way too much investment in order to get any decent job. john had heard from a lot of his new coworkers that northern va is chock-full of jobs, since it's so close to DC. so i said to myself, do i stay in nj miserable without my boyfriend, with no job and no school? or do i take a risk way beyond my comfort zone in order to grow up and get my life on track? i knew if i didn't do it now, i never would. so i decided, fuck it, i'll go- what do i have to lose? NOTHING.
so here i am. in my cute little apartment with my amazing boyfriend. i'm happy i moved, i really am, but i can't help but get homesick from time to time. i've only been here a couple of weeks and i'm feeling a little vulnerable. looking for a job sucks, but at least there's actually jobs worth applying for. i've already received a few calls but there's one in particular i'm waiting on .. we'll see. it's definitely overwhelming. i've got no family here, no friends. i barely know my way around AT ALL. and i'm trying to keep myself from using retail therapy because i have a lot of big girl bills to pay! as for right now i'm just keeping myself busy with normal domestic things. applications, clean, unpack, cook. that's been my normal day. with a few trips to the food store here and there.
i will say though, virginia is beautiful. everything is so green. we live in a town called leesburg right at the northern tip of the state. it's a cute town. it has everything i need, not to mention some parks and a cute little historic downtown area.
it's just weird. so so weird. this is going to take some adjusting.
