It's a very surreal feeling to be driving around with all my earthly possessions piled in the back of my car, and to know that before twenty-four hours is up, I will have only my car key on my key ring. I was thinking as I was packing this morning, having just woken up, putting on the closest most comfortable clothes and then setting off to work, that I looked like a homeless person, and then it hit me... I am, quite literally, a homeless person!
It's been a while since my last posting, and my now former roommate Becca insisted that I chronicle my move, so let me catch you up to speed. I'm moving to Pullman, Washington to go to school. Let me take this moment to answer the questions that I know are now swimming through your heads. No, I don't have a place to live when I get there, and no, I don't have a job lined up either. In fact I really don't even know anybody there. I'm just going. I feel like in times past I've taken steps of faith and they've gotten me to some pretty great places, but this is my first ever real leap of faith. A leap that is taking me approximately 650 miles away to a state I've never set foot in in my life (no, I haven't even been there to check it out). Yet I have faith that Heavenly Father has prepared me for this and I know that He won't let me fall.
I chose Pullman (Washington State University) because they have an excellent Psychology program as well as the opportunity to further my Chinese (I'm not quite sure what the exact career is that is going to be coming out if these to subjects, but it is going to be a doozy). There have been a lot of contributing factors that have lead me to make this decision, and it feels right, so it is now time to say goodbye to Laramie, Wy. I made the mistake last time I left Laramie of saying that I would never come back to live here ever again. I won't make that mistake again, I'll just say to Laramie, goodbye and good luck!
Yeah for blogging! :) You are a crazy lady, Cas, but full of faith in deed.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all of the stuff in my new apartment. I can't figure out what's supposed to go in a garage, and an office and a hall storage closet and all of the cupboards. I'm used to having everything crammed in my room:)
Have fun with Andrea!
