Last week I received a confirmation from Washington D.C. that I did pass the security check and may now apply for a visa. A day later, I had an apartment from the Northeast area, and an internship guide before my eyes. Once again, everything feels so surreal. Until now, the whole internship in D.C. has just been a possibility, but suddenly, it has become real. Way too real for my taste. I feel intimidated, uncertain, a little scared. On the other hand, I recognize what a huge possibility this is, but it always goes like this. Once you feel secured and comfortable where you are, things change and adjustment to something new needs to be done.
Now don’t get me wrong, I am real proud of myself and really excited. And I know three months there will fly by and when the day comes that I need to leave D.C. behind, I will wish it would have lasted longer. But for now, I’m quite happily engaged in my life here and building everything from scratch feels scary. I know I will be okay, but for now, this uncertainty that hovers over me drives me crazy.
For now, I’ll try to put all my effort and concentration into writing my gradu and the summer. Hopefully things will turn out well, and swell
Oh, and if you want to check out my apartment in Washington D.C., here’s where it is…:
