I'm moving to Dallas!

[ashbeeigh]

:elephant

On Friday I'm leaving for Dallas to start a 10 week internship that I could accept into a whole year inernship that isn't a lot of money, but is super rewarding. I wouldn't bother posting a thread about it, but it's a pretty worth while cause, well at least I think it is.

I'll be working in a group for a non-profit called Project Transformation (http://www.projecttransformation.org) coordinating summer day camps for an inner city Methodist church. It sounds pretty awesome. Most of the kids come from "under served" communities and 97% live in poverty. At the end of the summer we're taking the middle school kids on a week long wilderness camp. Most of them haven't been outside of Dallas. From what I've heard the kids have the experience of their lifetime. Throughout this whole thing we act as role models and that whole shebang.

It'll be the first time I've been outside of San Antonio for more then maybe 3 weeks, and in Dallas nontheless. I think I'm going to wear silver and black...a lot. Except I may get shot.

Spare me the response of "thanks for getting out of San Antonio, ashbag, ashbitch, etc." I was just keeping everyone updated on what I'm doing and maybe looking for some support once I get up there.

welcome to dallas. you'll find that it isn't quite the soulless hellhole people in San Antonio make it out to be, but it's pretty damn close. :lol

[Kori Ellis]

Wow. What a great experience for you!

I did a lot of work with inner city kids in L.A. It's rewarding, but hard at times.

Have fun and good luck.

[LuvBones]

Have fun in Dallas!! :)

[ashbeeigh]

I hope your time up there is successful.

[Shelly]

Good luck to you!

[MoSpur]

Congratulations! I hope you and those kids have a blast.

Don't worry about wearing Silver and Black, most of the basketball fans here in Dallas have put their gear away for the season.

[SAtoDallas]

Welcome to Big D. It's actually not bad at all, I only complain cuz I miss living in SA.

[Spurminator]

You'll be fine as long as you stay out of Uptown on the weekends, and stay out of Addison at all times.

[Trainwreck2100]

don't get shot

[to21]

No sir, not every one in SA feels this way. I happen to like Dallas and I have a BLAST everytime I go.

what's so bad about Addison? I have a friend that lives there but I've never been there myself.

[Bob Lanier]

My condolences.

[tlongII]

I am not a role model.

[fatsack]

are you being punished for something?

[Mixability]

they deserve you.

It's not bad. It's just a place where a lot of the young, pretentious an pompous like to hang out. Sort of the OC type crowd, but not everywhere. I like Kobe's and hanging out drinking beers with friends at BJ's personally.

Nothing it's just very conjested. Full of resaurants, people and cars.

[dallaskd]

Addison is a nice place. their 4th of july fire works at ka-boomtown are awesome.

[ashbeeigh]

Thanks again y'all.

And I had heard about Addisson before...How is Highland Park for snotty? I'm going to be at SMU during my downtime.

[dallaskd]

kiss H-E-B's goodbye. there aren't any up here except for the central markets. don't worry about you wearing your silver and black. i wear it almost every other day and all the mav "fans" lower their head in shame and bite their lips. it's quite a site. plus you're white. you'll blend in easy.

SMU = silicone methodist university.

My dad grew up in Highland Park, and I have some family in Arlington, that about all I know about Dallas.

But I do think they have a clean feet ordinance there, so you might be in trouble!!!






Kidding, but congrats on the internship, hope everything works out well!!

[RashoFan]

Good Luck with your internship Ashbeigh! I hope it will be very rewarding for you.

[dallaskd]
