Time of my life

So it seems that things are finally going my way, that it was really a good thing I didn't push through with Law in the UK. God gave me something better. Ever since I got here in the US, not really after merely finding out I got accepted to Capital Semester and that finally leaving the country was a possibility, I started believing in what people almost always say and what we also often hear, it is God's will or that God has a plan for us. As dramatic as this may sound, during the time when I was deciding which career path to pursue, I decided to just follow my heart and went for the Master's in Public Policy. Choosing among law, medicine, even computer science and this one, it was hell. But I believed in my reasons for pursuing this MA, going against the high probability of failing (USC was the only school I applied to), and I figured that following one's heart really does make sense sometimes. I got accepted to the program. I will be doing the Master's starting this summer.

However, along with that invitation for a new adventure comes (or will come) the misery of leaving DC. I know it's only been 2 months, but I've already fallen in love with it. I love it because I live near the Capitol, several bars are just a couple of minutes walk from our apartment (or even just A MINUTE! Or even LESS!), I get my daily dose of politics despite not being a hardcore politics person, I meet a lot of interesting people, the gym and the metro station are just 2 blocks away, Starbucks is right beside our apartment, I get a free copy of CQ Weekly every time, my internship is just plain wonderful-both my co-interns and the Congressman's staff... life is just comfortable and simply wonderful around here (well, except for doing household chores). I guess it's nothing short of saying, I am having the time of my life here. First taste of freedom, first taste of being responsible, first taste of intense clubbing, and I'm quite certain there will be more of that firsts.

I guess I will just have to come back here in DC once I'm done with my Master's. And I'm dead serious about it. If only I could not leave anymore. Surely, this is one of the best things ever.
