For those of you who don’t know, I got a job offer on Mackinac Island last weekend.  Specifically at May’s Fudge Shop, which indicates I need to live on the Island until mid-October.  So, I called up a couple of people to announce the news and got several pieces of advice.  In the end, it came down to a decision.  Going to Mackinac, or staying where I am and going home at the end of the summer.  And I made a choice.

Okay, so the decision was made several days ago, but still the case remains.  I took quite a poll of advice before I came to my decision.  Even so, despite all the advice, the decision was mine.  And I chose to go.  I want to go.  Very, very badly.  Not that I’m not also very scared, I mean it’s a big change to live with for several months.  To top it off, I’ve decided that I will be going to school.  It’ll be online schooling as opposed to in-classroom schooling, however if I can at least stay in the school, I’m pretty happy.  I mean, college is important to me, despite what past mistakes might make it appear.

I’ve already started getting things together, buying plastic bins to pack in and making a list of anything I need to pick up before I leave (hairdryer, some groceries, etc.).  I’ve got one bin packed and will be continuing my packing tonight and tomorrow.  I’ll be taking all of the clothes I’ve bought in the last six weeks, along with a good portion of what I brought with me.  Most likely, all I’ll be leaving behind are big, baggy t-shirts that I’ve not been wearing at all lately.  As terrifying as the move is, it is moreso exhilarating.

The biggest concern has been groceries.  I’ve already got Mom (McCormick)‘s promise that she, Granny (Rosemary) and Jessica will send me some groceries when they can.  I’ve not yet e-mailed anyone else to see if they can do the same.  Although, I can always switch out my current amazon wishlist for one filled with only groceries.  I can just imagine the looks on people’s faces when they find that instead of my usual wants.  In any case, Mom’s already found a couple of decent sites where she, and I, can order groceries to be sent up to Mackinac.  So, that’s one problem that’s been fixed.

There’s the usual worry about whether the other girls in the apartment will like me, but I’m pretty positive that it’ll be okay.  Tonight, I sent out a list of questions to my new employer concerning the apartment and will hopefully hear from him again tomorrow morning.  So now, I sign out in order to complete my packing for the night and prepare a list for some last-minute shopping tomorrow.
