Tomorrow I leave for New York to begin my two-month internship with the American Museum of Natural History. I have prepared as much as I can, and now I am ready to just go for it, knowing very well that all of my preparations will not be able to shield me from some bumps in the road and a few wrong turns. But I am OK knowing this. I read somewhere that there is a fine line between living comfortably and living in a cage created by oneself. Fearing the unknown only creates more self-inflicted limitations and missed opportunities, and at this point in my life, I am ready to test the boundaries. Besides, if my sister can go to Afghanistan, I can go to New York.
May has been a great month to finish up some artwork for Engineers Without Borders and relax at home with my parents. We have gone on several bike rides, camped at Ledges State Park, and played Badminton and Mexican Train Dominoes on many nights. I've also kept busy with jury duty, painting projects and mowing, grocery shopping with my mom (a favorite past-time of mine), visiting some friends and grandparents, and tying up loose strings from the spring semester and preparing for New York. Last week I made yogurt and cheese and organized a small softball game with people from our church. It has been a great vacation, but I am ready for the next adventure.
