Anticipation, noun: expectation or hope.
Preparation, noun: the action of making ready or being made ready for use.
These are two nouns that have been prominent in my life this summer. As I squander my last few weeks away in Seattle I begin to anticipate and prepare for my upcoming New York City adventure.
If you have not been following closely, I have been accepted to Columbia University's School of Social Work as an Advanced Standing student for the degree of MSW (Master of Social Work). In just ten short months and at the ripe age of 22, I will indeed be a master of social work, or so I hope. School begins on July 31st, preceded by orientation on July 30th, and my red-eye SEA-JFK flight arrives at 7:25am on the morning of orientation. It will be a whirlwind of sorts, but I anticipate and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime.
New York City, the city that never sleeps, I am ready for you.
