Fasten Your Seatbelt!

"I hopped off the plane at LAX

with a dream and my cardigan

welcome to the land of fame excess,

am I gonna fit in?

Jumped in the cab,

Here I am for the first time

Look to the right and I see the Hollywood sign

This is all so crazy

Everybody seems so famous"

-Miley Cyrus "Party in the USA"

Oh Miley, so wise at such a young age!!

Here I am, a day before I begin my trek down to Los Angeles and I can deny the fact that I'm getting a little nervous! For beginners, I've never really been the "So-Cal" type-I mean I'm "hella" Nor Cal. But lets be real, I was made for the glitz and glamour of a big city. I mean E! here I come! I'm practically the next host of Red Carpet Pre-show!!!

But in all seriousness I am getting a bit nervous. I'm about to start an internship in a totally unfamiliar city at an unfamiliar school. Oh how the 209 will seem so far away. What if I forget everything I've learned in the past five years and I simply bomb the next eight weeks? What if, I don't cut it anywhere other than Pacific? All of these questions keep circulating my head and have even made me a bit moody the last few days (just ask my parents). Then throw in an apartment mate that I don't know anything about. Will we get along? Will we be able to work and live together? Will we become the closest of friends? I sure hope so.

As nervous as I may be, I am also very excited and I know that these nerves will serve me well. It will be a great opportunity to start as a young professional in a new environment. I'm excited for the possibilities that my internship and Los Angeles hold in store.

In the words of Miss Miley Cyrus, all I have to do is "put my hands up, they're playing my song and the butterflies fly away.....it's a party in the USA".
