The time has come. It's September 10th, Wednesday — my official moving to SF day.
It's 1:46 am, my flight is at 1:55 pm. I don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight, there's still so much more to do. Even though I have little time left, I'm writing this quick/short post before I leave the island. Ok here goes...
I'm actually at my old office trying to get some last minute things done. Why did I wait till the last minute? Note to self: print ALL documents one week in advance if you ever decide to move again.
These past few weeks have been crazy! I've been on a emotional roller coaster, laughing hysterically one moment and balling like a baby the next. I never thought I could bust out random emotions like this in an instance, it's like having a super power. That would be a pretty junk super power, talk about mood swings. Yikes.
Everyday, there was always something to do. Whether it was packing my bags or meeting a friend. It was so hectic, but yet I loved it. It made me realize how much closer I was to being in SF and that much closer to making my dreams come true. Everyone has been asking me if I figured it all out yet. To be honest, I haven't. It's scary, I know but very exciting at the same time. I figured, once I get to SF, all the pieces will come together. It has to and I am determined to make it happen.
I wanna say thank you to everyone who has helped me become the person I am today. I've had so many great influences in my life, from the professors at KCC's New Media Arts Program to my colleges/mentors in the Hawaii creative community. They've supported me through it all and guided me in ways I never thought a person could be guided. Maybe it's the sentimental part of me, but i'll never forget the MANY people in my life who helped make this dream come true.
The most supportive person (besides family) in my life has been my boyfriend, Xiaowu. He's been there from day one, through the endless nights studying at school to joyous times in my career. He always knew what to say and do. No matter how crazy I got and how down in the dumps I was, he found a way to cheer me up and lift my spirits. To Xiaowu, thank you for everything!!!
Whoa, I wanted to write more about what specific things I've done to prepare for this moment, but this ended up sounding like a thank you letter. I was suppose to keep this short too but I see that there's a few paragraphs already. Wish I had more time, but unfortunately I'll have to end it here.
Thanks again to all you amazing people in my life and I'm excited for this new adventure. Till next time...
Aloha,
Katroppi
