(bsm)almost there...

not quite sure how to begin.
I'm not sure what is in front of me. How do I prepare. Will I regret leaving? Will I wish it never happened? Will I be lonely? Will I get eaten by a wild animal?
All these questions and more are going through my head. Ok, things will be great I'm sure-yeah.
I remember when I applied to TWC for the DOT internship. I had to choose three choices for location. I loved DC so I picked it as first, then I thought about being placed close to my family so I chose Carolina, then I thought let me put down something outrageous for the adventure:Alaska. "Yeah, its not like I would ever be placed there," thats what I said to myself. A few weeks later I was contacted for an interview. The email subject had the word Alaska in all capital letters. I was shocked-then ecstatic. I thought God your giving me another adventure-thanks. I called my mom first-yelling in the phone "mom, mom, mom your not going to believe it, reallly mom your not guess what, guess who just emailed me....," she was blank. After my excitement I felt the same way, blank. What? Alaska? O...k...
The interview went great, I was interviewed over the phone by 3 or 4 people. They were all so nice, and at the getco I was told "you do know that we're in Alaska right?" Yeah I got it, I'm up for it.
