I appreciate life a lot, not only because it kisses me with unaffordable joy all of a sudden, but also it slashes me, immediately after happiness, with killing bitterness. This is the charm.
My life in D.C., till now, is definitely the first half. I'm fortunate enough to have a very good friend who helps me with everything here, so my deepest gratitude goes to her. Another person i feel grateful to is my roommate who generously rents her fully-furnished apartment to me at a unbeatable price. I'm also grateful that grocery price and tax rate are not unbelievably high comparing with products in Athens, OH. This is really great for someone like me who vows to support myself through this unpaid internship.
Everything is good except for the often mentioned danger. Danger is everywhere if we are not danger conscious. Of course big cities are bigger breeding place for crime and danger since everything goes BIG includes danger. However, reciprocity is applicable everywhere in life. If you are a safe person, life will treat you safe according to my little observation.
I will go China Town today to purchase some necessary seasoning and additives for cooking. Life in D.C. officially starts tomorrow on my first day to VOA. I'm looking forward to the expected joy it will bring about, and also fully aware of the frustration and obstacles that come possibly through the way. Therefore, my principle is to embrace the good and be aware of and prepared for the potential bad. In this way, I'm unbeatable, hopefully.
