7 Things I'm Looking Forward To... and 5 Concerns

It's exciting and a little surreal to know that soon I'll be leaving MN. Like many people before an adventure, I'm excited about some things and nervous about others.

Here's what I'm excited about:

• I can't wait to meet my 3 roommates in person at last!
• The opportunity to be more independent.
• I'm looking forward to cooking my own food.
• This will be my first time living in an apartment.
• I'll get the chance to visit places that I didn't have the opportunity to go to the last time I was in Washington D.C. (which was in July 2012).
• Four days a week I'll get to work in the field I want to go into on something that I'm interested in and passionate about.
• The chance to see how God will move in this chapter of my life.

Here are my concerns:

• I might get lost trying to use the Metro.
• I may suffer from sticker shock since prices are lower in the Midwest in comparison to the East Coast.
• What if I unintentionally break my promises when it comes to keeping in touch with my friends back home?
• What if I fall behind on my blog because I'm having too much fun away from home (of which I'm not sure there is such a thing) or get too distracted by my internship duties and homework?
• What if my expectations for this experience are too high?

This is my last post from MN for the time being. Next week there will be news about the road trip and orientation. Have a great week everyone and stay safe!
