This Is The Day

My life has surely changed.  After some tearful goodbyes, an early morning wake-up call, and a 12-hour truck ride with the brother, I've arrived in Washington.

I started my internship at WSU and am now about two weeks into it.  It's not quite what I expected, but then again, when is life ever that way?  I am happy to report that I've already been splattered with cow poo a good three times already though, and I couldn't be happier about it.  I really enjoyed my last internship at the small animal ER, but working with large animals now feel like...home.

Settling into a life away from my family and friends has been tough.  I have good and bad days.  I mostly miss everyone on the weekends when I'm left to find something to keep me occupied all day.  I've made it a priority to get out, though.  I spend my days at the coffee shop, exploring the little shops downtown, going to the bar for dinner & drinks, and traveling to different tourist spots.  The things we all seem to take for granted when we've been in one place for a while.

I always wanted to live in a small town, and I'm quite grateful it's living up to my expectations.  So much so that I might blog about it more.  I'm seeing a 30-day challenge thing going around.  I don't know exactly what it's about, but figured I'd just give it a go to blog for a straight 30 days.  Yep.  That's what I figure.  But I'm not starting today.  Maybe Monday...or Tuesday.
