When I say that phrase (of my title), I immediately think of 10 Things I Hate About You when the Shakespearean-loving brunette sarcastically says this phrase. But in my case, it's the truth. I have spent the last 24 years mostly living within a 40-mile radius of my hometown. I never went abroad in college, but I did spend 4 months in Colorado. But my time in Colorado was work work work and there was little time to actually LIVE in Colorado. Now I am living in a city with bums, and buses, and crappy mexican food. And I must find a way to not only function in it, but love it. Let's not forget my first trip to the supermarket in which I was fighting back tears because they did not carry my Claussen pickles and pear cider, that was a wakeup call to realizing holy shit I am somewhere else. Things could obviously be worse, I could be living in Kazakhstan like an acquaintance of mine, but sometimes Seattle feels like an obscure faraway country.
In one week I will be studying and reading before my first day of school the following Monday. What the hell have I done?? Reading? Unless it's Harry Potter, I'm only vaguely interested. Remembering? I have the memory of a goldfish. Being in class with pretentious people? OH GOD PLEASE HELP ME! I really hope I made the right decision in leaving behind my loving family, amazing friends, and incredible boyfriend.
If you can't already tell, I'm a HORRIBLE writer. I have no form, no depth, and no creativity. But I'm hoping that will all change within this first year of school. Seattle University has one of the best Legal Writing Programs in the country and I'l be able to drastically improve my writing by year's end. HALLELUJAH!!
Okay - most boring blog ever. but the next one (hopefully if there IS a next one) will be much better. I promise.
