Musings of an Army Brat

In just 34 days I will be living in New York City...pretty crazy. I have so much to do before then and so much uncertainly still exists. I have no clue who else was accepted to the program, and I haven't found out how long we will be in class (since our semester does not start with the rest of school). We are supposed to have a conference call to discuss all of these details, but the date and time for this conference call has not been revealed as of yet.  What scares me the most is finding a place to live. I have started looking at potential places to live, but I can't make any decisions until I find out more details (which are forthcoming, but I need to know now so I can have enough time to plan how this move is going to go).  I don't like that I will have to sublet an apartment (or house) and won't be able to see it until the day I move in. Also, I don't know how the random roommate situation will work out either. I'm going to pray about it and try to prep...

I am so excited! I found out on Monday (April 14) that I was selected to become a fellow with National Urban Fellows, Class of 2015. I honestly did not think I would be chosen, but I am so grateful for the opportunity. The application process was long, the interview was intense (but fun), and after 8 months since submitting my application to the program, I got in. I prayed about it and it came true (my GOD is good). I am so thankful to my friends, family, and co-workers for their prayers and support. They kept me motivated when I doubted myself. My biggest shout out goes to my amazing boyfriend, Chris for his support. I love that guy. It was a surreal experience to submit my letter of resignation to HR at work and to see my position posted within hours of me announcing I was leaving (life must go on, I suppose). As much as I like living in LA, I'm ready to move. I'm nervous about moving to New York and finding a place to live (and being able to afford it). Going back to an A...
