My mom is here to spend the last few days in North Carolina with me. We went to eat though no one was hungry and then to a department store, where we spent five minutes getting things I actually needed and another 45 trying on clothes. I’m surprised she hasn’t started crying yet, but that’ll probably come tomorrow at the farewell BBQ or whenever she starts drinking.
Today is the first day of July and in one-and-a-half days I’ll be off to Pasadena, California where I’ll be crashing with a friend for a month – initially planned for three months, then two weeks, and now assuming an even month because that sounds about right – before I move out and really begin to live on my own. It’s been two years since I graduated college and a lot has happened in my life since then, but not much on the career front. I’m looking to change that. I’ve told my friends: “I want a Mindy Kaling career trajectory without mocking my culture and making myself the butt of the joke.” This site will be a witness to all the things I do in the next 1.5 years in an attempt to grow and learn and change for the better.
But first, today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, spent packing and saying goodbye. I’m almost done today, plan to be finished tomorrow, and holy shit Monday is it.
HOLY SHIT.
