It's less than 24 hours before I head off to Georgia. It feels like yesterday that I accepted this internship, and thought "why the heck am I doing leaving Texas?". By the end of the day, my car will be loaded full of my belongings, and my heart will be full of emotions. Honestly, I think saying good-bye to my dog, Butters, will be the hardest. I know that this will be great for me, and will open so many doors for my future career. My brother has traveled coast to coast with the Marines, and seeing him enjoy all the places he gets to travel to really opened my eyes, and gave me some courage. I've heard great things about Kennesaw and Atlanta, and by the looks of pictures, reviews, and things to do--I am going to love it (hopefully). People have asked me, "What if they hire you full-time?", and if I would stay in Georgia. That's a long time coming, and I have to kick butt at this internship, even if I don't stay in Georgia. My answer to that questions would be Yes and No, I have to see how things go this Fall and what God has in store for me! I have lived in Houston, Texas for my whole life, and at the age 23 I am having the privilege to travel to a city and state I have never been before. Yes, feelings of sadness and worry may happen with me and my family, but I have to cherish this moment, because this is going to be a great experience and adventure-no matter the chances of me staying in Georgia or coming back home.
There are some things I am going to have to get comfortable with, like:
- People say that Atlanta traffic is awful. If I want to travel into Atlanta around the time traffic begins-I will have to plan accordingly. Here I am use to the fact that around 5pm, Houston traffic is somewhere you don't want to be.
- Watching Fightin' Texas Aggie Football from afar. I'm taking plenty of maroon, my white game-day towel, and that "red ass" spirit. Farmers Fight! Whoop!
- Skyping/FaceTiming with friends and family. Texting is no longer going to cut it!
