I woke up this morning to a hazy, grey sky. My first thought was, "Can I live in this while I'm in Seattle?" My second thought was, "I'll just wait for it to burn off before I start my day." I do that too much. I'm proud of myself for setting a date and making a plan to leave. There are people close to me who wish I would horde up some dollars before I go, but I can't wait anymore.
(Please excuse me if this post is only semi-coherent. Twitter has turned me into a short burst type of writer, and it is infuriating).
I don't know what I'm expecting when I get there. People ask, and I'm not sure what to say. Formulating a plan now...
Things I expect will happen in Seattle:
1) I will be lonely
2) I will look for a job
3) I will spend time with my dad, and we will probably go to the Wild Horse Casino, or something like that, and I will win $700 again (I really expect this. Give me my positive thoughts).
4) I will see friends at the Gorge, and I will forget, for a few days, that I've never lived outside of San Jose before.
Doesn't that read like I'm 18 and going away to school or something? Sheesh, Vanessa. When I come home, I'll have a new outlook. My list will be like this:
Things I learned in Seattle:
1) Up north, they appreciate a girl whose love for her dog is rivaled only by her love for Coca-Cola.
2) I no longer have a craving for McDonald's fries.
Short and sweet. We'll see how it goes. And yes, Cindi and Jenny, let Jill know I'm available for babysitting! ;)
Ness, I am very proud of you for deciding what you want to do and going for it! You won't regret it I promise, as you know I have a little experience in this!!!

I love you a lot and really am so proud of you, this is the beginning of something really BIG!!!
