When I first got here, I didn't know what to expect. I had to get a lot of shopping done for my dorm room, but I didn't know where to go. Luckily, I have two friends here that showed me the ropes. They both showed me where to go eat (if I choose to eat out), where the Starbucks are, and where I can go to get groceries. It took me three days to get settled in, and that included unpacking.
What is so great about living in a city is that everything is near you. I don't have a car, and frankly you don't need one here. The one thing that is a downer is trying to figure out where the streets are, and which direction to go. I had the same problem when I was in Melbourne, Australia, but I got the hang of it once I was familiarized with the city. DC, so far, has treated me well. The people here are so nice, and frankly I'm starting to fall in love with it. Nothing regarding the so-called "real world" has hit yet, but only time will tell. My internship doesn't start until today, and frankly I'm still too overwhelmed with finding out what there is in the city to start job hunting yet. Give me a few weeks, and we'll see how I try to handle everything.
