A Few Things

The end of my tenure in Washington, DC is coming to an end faster and faster each day; honestly, I'm ready to get home. I think I've learned my lessons here, I think I've taken from this place what I needed. Along the way, I've learned a lot about my self, a lot about who I am, and a lot about where I want to go in life. First things first, I do NOT want to work in an office, at a desk, staring at a computer, all day.

As time flies by and the days become shorter, I've realized something about this place; it's temporary. In almost ever sense, this place is temporary. No one lives here forever, they always come and go. Especially being an intern - I get this feeling. I know there are probably hundreds of people lined up behind me willing to do the same thing I am; and I know they will. I hope I've left at least a bit of my mark on this place, and I hope I've learned enough to make this worth while. I feel as if I could work my entire life here and have minor affects on this place, whereas if I were in SLC doing the same thing, my influence would be felt much more so. Don't get me wrong, I love every aspect of this town, but I feel its time to move on. I'd love to come back someday and work for a year or so, but that's for another day.

Last Friday at about one PM me and a friend decided it was a good idea to go to South Carolina for the weekend. Seven hours later we were on an epic journey to Myrtle Beach. My problem was I had no where to stay but I knew of a family there. I showed up, my friend left, I slept on the beach for a few hours, woke up, called my friend hoping I could at least meet up with them. I ended up staying in a super nice resort, getting super good food, on the beach, with some of the nicest people I've ever met, but only knew for a day. I really wish we had more people like the Heiners in the world. They’ve made me realize so much about myself and who I am, both through David, Becca, and the Family it’s self.

Anyways, my time is flying, I saw the Flaming Lips today and Ratatat a few days ago, there is so much more to experience, cheers and love for now.
