Waiting For The Morning

I'm a bit nervous, but trying to keep my inner cool, as in the above picture. Tomorrow I leave for Fergus Falls, MN to start my new job at Bluebird Gardens. I'm planning on leaving in the morning so I can get that new-start-new-day-sunrise feeling when I take off.

It's an adventure! I'm going out into the world to make it on my own! I've talked to the 'rents and I plan on being financially independent (minus emergency car repairs and health insurance) by the end of June. It's kind of a big deal, this being on my own stuff. I feel well prepared, and excited, but nervous.

And I have NO idea what to expect when I reach Fergus. All I know is that I have a job working on a farm, and I will be paid until October. It's anyone's guess what kind of living situation I'll have or what I'll need, so I'm packing a pretty bare minimum. I have clothes, work gear, all necessary electronics, and the all-important books and music.

I'm starting a new phase of my life tomorrow, and it's going to be like nothing I've experienced before.

"Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I am defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!"
