there is just this kind of disbelief when something i have thought about doing for years is FINALLY starting to happen. it doesn't seem like it's really possible that it's happening to ME. i've been thinking about coming here for grad school for a long time and now i think my life is about to take off, i have so many opportunities in front of me. i've only been here a few days but already this city is amazing and has so much to offer me. it's going to be hard to get myself out there without knowing anyone, but it will be a test to see what i am capable of, how i can make myself the best person i can be. i can be miesrable or homesick and only dedicated to my classes this year, or i can make this the best year of my life. it all has to be my choice.
there are so many cool things to see and do here in seattle. loads of new hobbies and habits to get myself into and new sports or activities to take on if i want. i should try everything once. there are so many gorgeous men here, too, and i will crush on every one of them. i just need to tell myself not to be desperate, that i need to find myself first before someone else finds me.
i just need to take things one step at a time and not feel overwhelmed by everything. (that is the word i keep using. this place is so much bigger than anything i've ever experienced, really.) i might take a while but i think i'll get to a point where i have exactly what i'm looking for.
