Just thought I'd write a blog...
I'm on the cusp of something, maybe finally starting to understand what it means to grow up. I'm taking this internship in Louisville, KY at Sarabande books. It's unpaid, which means I'll have to find some type of part-time job as soon as I get there. It's either going to be for six months or a year, they said after six months, if things work out, they will most likely ask me to renew the contract, but I'm not sure I'd be willing to stay that long at an unpaid internship unless I really, really, really loved it. We'll see. Exciting as this may be, I'm really pretty bummed to have to leave everything/everyone I have here and try to start over somewhere, even if it's only temporary. I've gotten pretty comfortable here, finally. I've been through a lot since I've graduated, dealt with a lot of self-doubt and uncertainty, but finally, it seems like it all meant something, that maybe the trajectory of my life is about to shift. Time will tell. Either way, I'm down for a new experience, a little change of scenery. I plan on keeping in touch, maybe I'll actually start updating this again regularly. Most likely it will be sad, long, lonely... but maybe a little isolation would serve me well. Thank you to everyone in this town who has ever inspired me in some way, that's a butt load of people. So yeah, going to scout out houses/jobs next weekend, out of this apartment by the first, then off to Chicago for the AWP conference, then on to Louisville to start working on the 18th... hopefully.

PS: If you've borrowed anything from me (books/clothes, etc) please try to get it back to me before I go. That would be rad.
