So all my stuff is set and packed. I'm spending my last night in College Station! I go off in to the unknown, scary world of Dallas/Fort Worth tomorrow. I do find it odd that if you forget what I've posted here earlier, I'm pretty excited about moving to a new place where I don't know anyone. I'll have actual places to go and see (museums, botanical gardens) and Harper will love the dog friendly complex we're in.
After my big money post I do have some good news. A family member did deposit some money for me to help with the $265 dollar ticket. And I found an express, walmart, and target gift card in a random box! I guess they were from graduation or last christmas.
I do find it interesting to see how I've changed since starting college. I was so depressed my first two years that I did nothing but leave my room for school and food. i valued myself so much on what i thought I was supposed to do and not on what made me happy. As I'm going now, I'm actually excited about maybe getting a job in a food market. As someone who went in wanting nuclear medicine, it's odd. I know I want to do something with food. This market is great because I could help local people get good local/organic food. I'm even going to look in to something I saw on the tv. Schools are setting up programs to get fresh produce to urban kids. it was something my food science prof talked about but just now took root. I'm also going to look at more "green jobs". You can thank monday nights on discovery home for that.
So yeah, not to ramble on, I'm taking a new step in to a bigger city. Let's hope it turns out more like ugly betty than L&O SVU. :)
