I'm pleased to announce that after months of careful planning, every detail regarding my trip is in place. At the end of this week I will be headed to NYC with papers in hand, ready to work. In addition to this, despite the fact that they were entirely booked up, my application for the Webster Apartments went through. Now I have a place to stay, merely 5 blocks from where I will be interning.
Having extremely detailed plans makes me feel more control of my life, so I've been attempting to plan everything from the walk to work to what I'm going to do on my first weekend. I already have a cell phone plan picked out, as well as the nearest coffee shop that isn't a Starbucks mapped out, and directions on how to get to the library from my place. I already have a dry cleaners picked out, and the non-emergency police number programmed into my phone (I do that for every place I live). I won't tell you how many times I've "walked" down the street to work on google street view, but I will say that it was much more than once. There's a point at which planning becomes redundant; I reached that point 6 weeks ago. I'm ready to go!
It's nice to see things come together just as I planned, but I've still got a long ways to go before I'm where I need to be!
Happy Trails!
