It's been a month since I last posted, but it feels more like a day. I cannot believe my time here in D.C. is almost over. Walking to work today was especially difficult. I now look at things as if I am seeing them for the last time. The sight of the Capitol Building, the changing lights, the sound of my heels clicking as I make my way from Dirksen to Hart all are vivid sensations I want to hold on to. I know it isn't goodbye forever. I plan on coming back to D.C. once I get my degree, but a year is a long time and putting your dream on pause after you've seen a glimpse of it is extremely hard.
Thanksgiving is four days away. I can feel sadness growing inside me as we face the first holiday season without grandma. I'm fully prepared to label this part of my life as bittersweet. Endings and beginnings tend to stir that kind of emotion.
I guess this experience has done more for me than I expected. Everything seems so clear, as if a compass needle finally found its direction. It's scary and wonderful all at the same time. Well, this is the life I want to live, now I just have to get started.
