Remember my list of goals I jotted down back in January?

I can’t believe it’s been half a year already. But, I can happily say that I’ve accomplished all my goals. Except one, which I will have ticked off by the end of August.

The last unchecked goal is to be on my own, in a different city. The time is nearing. And I’m excited, but kind of freaked out at the same time. I’m 22 and I have no shame is saying that I’m scared of this being on my own thing (And, it’s only for 5 weeks+ London)

Did I mention I hate flying? I get really nervous and I try really hard to fall asleep on the plane. I like to have my feet on the ground.

I still got a lot of planning to do. You can read all you want, but once you get there, it’s a different story. In the meantime, I’m trying to be as prepared as possible – familiarizing myself with the transit system, street names, subway stations…the list goes on.

Not ready yet, but I’m getting there.

Check out this new burger! It’s sold in West Michigan’s ball team and it’s called the Fifth Third burger.

For the past couple years, I’ve been distancing myself away from the friends I’ve met in high school. Sometimes you don’t want to stand in someone else’s shadow or follow people because you realize you think a little different. You jump, I don’t jump. For me, it was the only way I could had learned more about myself. I would had approached it a lot differently, but I’m at peace. I know how to handle my relationships a lot better. I’m happy to still have a few genuine friendships…

Good news, I’ll be listening to agency presentations within the next week. My first interview went well. Now, it’s time to get into the thick of things.

Last Friday, I had dinner with a college friend that I met 2 years ago. I was looking forward to a day of catch-up. But, the night was filled with one word answers and uninterested looks (not coming from me). I was annoyed. Why would someone call me to treat me like this? I had to revert to some immature jokes just to keep her going. I think it’s OK to mention that something’s up…but, to leave me hanging and feeling unworthy, not so good. I don’t like blogging about other people, but this night was frustrating for me.

Summer’s looking really interesting right now. I should be hearing back from the language program really soon. When I do get a word, I can start planning my little adventure…which may turn into something a little bigger.
