I have started my first week at The Washington Post! I work in the Marketing Department with creative advertising and strategic pricing and such. My manager is pretty much a carbon copy of Jennifer Garner in Juno, so it's very pleasant working with her. There are interns from a googleplex of schools so I'm excited to play with all of them. Woodward and Bernstein (the journalists who reported Watergate) have an office the floor above me so my goal for the summer is to meet them-- and learn how to adjust my chair.
It's only 10 pm right now and all the energy left in me is used to breathe. Yesterday, I got home at 6:30 and went straight to bed. I miss college.
So today after work, I was supposed to meet M. Lim and D. Xiao for some good food. I get on the metro, travel a whole one stop and the train "malfunctions." The security man told me that I can walk 5 blocks to another metro station instead of waiting. I think, okay, that's easy. After about 3903 blocks, I still did not find a metro station. I basically went on a tour of D.C. and sweated my body weight and ended up at a 7/11. I went inside and bought a slurpee and tiquito and sat outside of GWU Medical School. I watched the medical mens exit the building, the birds in the sky, and ate my tiquito.
Long story short, it took me 3+ hours to get home today.

i've been home for 3 days and i still have to jump over the million bags of STUFF lying all around my room.
i remember moving all these things in on the first day, i remember how much i hated orientation and how much i just wanted to stay in high school forever. but God's blessed me incredibly this year.. He's opened my eyes and my heart to so many new things.. He's brought people into my life that i've lived without for 18 years and now it's hard for me to imagine just 3 months without them.
sometimes i question why things happen the way they do, when they do, how they do.. i wish i could just read God's mind and know what He has in store for me.. but i guess it's better to be oblivious.. because that's what forces us to follow him through faith alone.. oh summer.. what will you bring?
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow and each road leads you where you want to go and if you're faced with a choice and you have to choose I hope you choose the one that means the most to you I hope you never look back but you never forget all the ones who love you in the place you left..
WHEEEE-- SO EXCITED FOR THIS SUMMER-- i will be working/taking a class and tons of playing and beach trips and concertsss in between =))))
