summer’s almost over

Because this blog is also about “life” I’m going to tell you about some of the things I came across or experienced this summer. They are in no particular order or specific to a theme — some of them are nouns, or actions, or people. Good and bad things are included. I’ll start off with a negative, and hopefully end on a postive:

1. Flying in-and-out of Boston Logan Airport

(i’ve flown a lot in my life, to a lot of places — Heathrow 3 days after the “liquid bomb scare”, bangkok with 10 flights coming in from India, Charles de Gaulle a month after half the airport collapsed, Chicago O’Hare at Christmas — yet nothing compares to the sh*t I had to put up with this summer getting to and leaving Logan.)

2. Flat tires are not fun (but luckily I have a boyfriend who can deal with my anxiety.)

3. May/June in D.C. are truly wonderful months

(Why? because its hot but not muggy, and fireflies are gorgeous)

4. Having Fletcher friends to keep me busy

5. Crossword Puzzles

6. Urban Cycling

(Biking is fun, and biking while dodging cars, possible death traps, and there-goes-my-knee situations is even more fun.)

7. Shenandoah Hiking

8. I love dogs, but I’m not ready to have one yet

9. Harry Potter

10. Excel is… well, sort of fun.

11. I ‘heart’ the Energy Industry

12. I can actually, possibly maybe, hold down a 9-5, office job.

(I told my mother this over the phone and she said how relieved she was, she was worried I was becoming too misanthropic to be able to do this…hmm thanks mum.)

13. Summer Internships are not all bad, but it sure is nice to be able to leave and have 3 weeks of vacation with no Blackberry at my hip.

14. I’m ready to get back to work!
