One day and counting
After a great 3 weeks at home recuperating from a wild but successful sophomore year at UNC, I have finally ventured back to NC. I’m staying in Pine Knoll Shores at my grandparents beach house. I spent today driving, unpacking, cleaning up the condo, grocery shopping, and trying to avoid the memorial day crowds. Everything’ s all set. I can safely say that this is the first time I have ever lived alone and it is a strange feeling that will take getting used to. I have always been an independent person but I realized after unpacking today that I have always been around other people. The silence is calming but also making me realize that I am moving closer to a new point in life when I will be off on my own. THe biggest wake up call was walking through the grocery store and trying to figure out if I could actually cook anything for dinner. Goal #1: work on cooking skills.
I am watching a beautiful sunset now. My last few moments before work begins. I’ve had a job before, but working at Seafarer didn’t really count. Now I am a commuter and am responsible for doing research. Wow. I am a bit nervous and anxious just to get day 1 out of the way. It’s going to be a blast but since I am a bit behind the curve in the college sciences who knows what I am really getting myself into. At this point all I can do is wait and accept the decision that I made. Get excited!!!! I can’t wait to meet my fiddler crabs!!!!
