Well, some things have changed since I last updated. Good things! I HAVE A REAL JOB, for starters. I'm working in a contract position as a Membership Assistant. I'm still not really sure what I'll be in charge of yet...the majority of the office was out this past week at a Global meeting in Vancouver, so things were really slow. But this week, I've been told that things will pick up since everyone is back in the office. I'm really excited. It pays well, and I'll actually be able to make my rent and have some left over! HOORAY!
School is, well, school. Classes have started to pick up, but I don't really like any of them. I am excited for next semester because I will have a more hands-on class, an anthro class, and (hopefully) and internship. I'm really excited to intern! THings are picking up at school, however, and I have papers and other crap starting to be due. And I just do not feel like doing them. ever. Ah well, what can you do!
In other news, I LOVE FALL IN DC. Now, it is true that I miss New England colors. I haven't seen too much evidence of them here; even yesterday when Jenna and I ventured out of the city to go thrifting and to IKEA there wasn't too much change yet. We decided its because its been so remarkably warm the past week or so. But the trees on my street are starting to change and leaves are starting to fall. When you walk, they swirl around your legs (along with some sticks and a LOT of pollen...enter allergies). And the weather is just absolutely gorgeous. Its exactly what I wanted from a fall. There's been no rain other than a few days, and it wasn't gross and cold like in Boston. Its been sitting at a very comfortable 70 degrees for the majority of October (not counting last monday when it decided it needed to be 84...) with sun and a slight breeze. In other words, GORGEOUS. even in the mornings, its cold, but not unbearable. Its absolutely gorgeous and makes up for the sauna that is DC in the summer.
Now that things are falling into place, I'm really glad I came here. While sometimes I wonder about the MSTD program, I'm really glad I got the hell out of New England.
