Two weeks. That's how long until I make the move to Washington DC, where I will spend the spring semester interning at InterAction. It will be my last semester as an undergrad student, and then I"ll probably end up working in DC (or maybe Chicago, etc.).
College has been great. I've loved almost every minute of it, but these past 2 weeks I've realized something, I'm ready to be done. The monotonous routine of getting up and going to class every morning is getting to me after the thrill of getting to get up and go to my internship this fall at Opportunity International. Whenever I'm sitting in class, I'm thinking about the positive work that I could be doing instead. Even if I was still just interning, there's so much I could do instead of sit in a classroom for hours every day.
I've always been one to look forward to the next big adventure, and I can see that being true now. Washington DC provides the prospect of a thrilling environment, a great professional opportunity, and a lot of fun with friends. There's a lot that I will miss in Grand Rapids when I leave (and I will miss it a lot), but I need to go, and I'm ready.
Two weeks...I can do this.
