Across The Country
"We would like to offer you an internship. We've express mailed a welcome packet to you." This sentence may have well changed my life. It certainly has changed my summer. After many discouraging interviews I thought I would be spending my summer at my part time job at school. Scooping ice cream was great for last summer but an internship, oh an internship is what I longed for. Well I believe the good came to those who had to wait, me. I was offered an internship after a phone interview that went too well to be true.
Thoughts of the internship faded as project deadlines loomed and finals quickly approached. After moving home, I had one week to pack it all up again and drive across the country. Not an easy feat when I have a Saturn and an entire household to pack into the back of it.
What to take? Clothes, bathroom items, my computer, pots, pans, my new Kitchenaid, microwave, printer....the list goes on. And for me weaning down the kitchen essentials was like cutting off one finger at a time. My Cruset roasting pan, left behind, my wooden salad bowl left behind. Will all that I brought be sufficient to get me through the summer? Only time will tell.
The trip started....
...and continued....
....and then I arrived. My new studio apartment in California. This little Michigander has her own place for the first time! Here are some quick snap shots of the new place. What adventures will come next?
