I think it is just starting to hit me that my “job hunt” is over for now. I know that it has only been postponed, but I don’t have to worry right now. As of now until the month of September I am employed with a paycheck. No benifits, but my parents said I could COBRA off their insurance for awhile (amazing!!). I really don’t know what I would do if they hadn’t offered that. I am hoping that the economy will have a slight upturn come September and more companies will be hiring. It’s just hard because I know people who graduated last year who still don’t have jobs. I don’t do well with uncertainty – it scares me.
But enough about the depressing options for the far away future. It’s time for the more fun part of the near future. The best part of this job is that because I wont be spending any money this summer (YAY!!) So I will be able to save a ton and maybe I can get an apartment right when I finish the internship. Or if I don’t have a job, I will still have a decent amount to live on for awhile. No point in worrying about that now.
I am so excited to see who my intern team is. I wonder who I will be spending the summer with, who will be my other comms partner? How many people want to drive? Where are they from? What made them come? I think it will be a blast to get to know people. I am sure there will be ups and downs, but I am excited all the same.
Most of all I am super excited to pack and plan out what to bring and organize everything. I love planning things, I love figuring out what the perfect things to bring would be, what would be needed, what I can go without all of that. I love every moment of planning and organizing. It is so strange and weird I know, but I really do love it. Of course because of this obsession I have already started thinking about things that I need and want for this summer.
So here is what I am thinking. I’ll be gone for about 18 weeks. 1 suitcase and one “carry on” that cannot be too big because I would hate it if someone brought a giant bag into the van for the whole summer. I am going to need to really really smart pack. So if anyone has any packing experience or has traveled this way before please give me some pointers. Because I am a girly girl. I know from experience that I am going to want to take everything I own for fear that I may want it eventually. So the next month or so is dedicated to smart packing (don’t stress I won’t blog about packing until May – that would be miserable.) But if anyone does have any packing tips or hints for life on the road I am open to anything!! I really have no clue what I am doing.
