The Big Move

It's the most dreaded time of the summer...move out day.

In the past few hours, I have managed to separate all of my clothes--and it is definitely time to make a donation to Goodwill.  I basically had to decide what I wanted to take to New York and what I could live without for 2 months.  I still think I have wayyy too much to fit into my too tiny NYC closet.  But I will try, and if I fail, I guess I will have to live partially out of a suitcase for 2 months.

Tomorrow I will be (very unhappily) lugging all of the things I have packed to my new house for next year.  I'm sure it will be miserable, as I hate moving, and the high is an unforgiving 97 with a chance of rain.  Oh what fun I have waiting for me!

Friday I will be deep cleaning my apartment, turning in my keys, and heading home.  It's going to be weird packing up all my things to go to NYC once I get back to Aiken.  I really don't think its sunken in that I will be living in New York.  My brain still feels like its just going to be another regular vacation.  Maybe it will hit me when I'm on the plane, maybe not until I pick up my keys from the leasing office, and if I'm right, it probably won't feel real until I start working.  Either way, it's still so exciting and I'm still in shock that I am even fortunate enough to have an opportunity as awesome as this.

Sadly, though, moving comes with goodbyes.  Today was my last day at my job at the Y for the summer.  When I started, I was terrified, but now I feel so much more confident in my knowledge of accounting.  I have learned more than I imagined, and have actually been able to apply things from the job to the classroom and vice versa.  I will definitely miss the crazy ladies on the 6th floor, and I am sooooo thankful that they are welcoming me back in August.

After work, I met my friend, Beth, for dinner.  Beth and I met a little more than 2 years ago at my old job.  We worked together for close to a year, and I'm really glad that we are still keeping in touch.  We ate at McAllister's, which was delicious, and saw Bridesmaids.  The movie was so much better than I expected.  I literally laughed out loud.  Which doesn't happen very often for me during movies. If you have the chance, definitely go see it.

Tomorrow I will be eating with my friends O'Hara, Reghan, Brianna, and Catherine.  So that will be pretty much my last meal with friends before heading to a city where I literally know 5 people. 

It's starting to become nerve wracking, but I am absolutely ready to see what the City has in store for me!

ps. I'll try to include some pictures with these soon.  I'll have to work on becoming blog savvy.
