Wednesday, June 23, 2010….9 days before I leave.
Hello there, this is the start of my blog of my adventures. This one just happens to be about my internship and trip to Washington DC for 5 weeks. I thought about emailing everyone individually, and that just overwhelmed me. So, instead, I’ll write on here about my adventures in DC and in life, and you can comment or email me about them. Sound good? I thought so.
There is much to do before I leave, and there is so much going on inside of my head and heart about this whole ordeal. I am excited to go, for sure. But at the same time, I’m nervous, scared, and not sure what to expect. I know it’ll be fun, that I’ll learn a lot, and grow immensely. Time has a funny way of changing people. A lot. We’ll see what these 5-6 weeks bring for me.
DC. It will be amazing, and interning for a Senator will be equally good. Definitely. I am rooming with another intern, her name is Kelsey and I do believe we will have a wonderful time together. We are sub-letting a place close to where we’ll work and are excited about this 2 bedroom/2 bath place to call home for a little while.
DC will be full of the metro – which I am SO excited to ride. I’m So done with driving after 2 wrecks in 6 months, neither of which were my fault. And really ready to take public transportation; to enjoy a ride with my ipod, reading a book, journaling, whatever I please. And I’m sure I’ll meet lots of interesting people, and network immensely. There will be good food, beautiful art to see, museums to tour, political people to interact with daily, and memories to make.
These last 9 days will be full of PACKING (which I disdain), seeing good friends, a wedding, moving, figuring out what and how to pack for 5 weeks, shipping my pampered chef products to the new place in DC, and little last minute details. You know goodbyes are hard? They are. There are a few people I’ve seen this past month that it might be the last time I see them…ever. I don’t like that. I’m not good at saying “goodbye”, so instead I say “See you”, with the hope that maybe someday, I will SEE them again. And then again, maybe not. That is the way life seems to travel though. People come and go, we change, we move, and yet, there is a part of them that will forever be tucked away in my heart no matter where life takes me.
I hope you will join me here on my blog as I embark on this new journey.
