So, it's been awhile- but Cara complained enough during her visit- so I decided to update atleast once this summer.
Cara came for a week and a half, and it was so great to see her again. She's definitely changed a lot since she left Glastonbury 3 years ago- but (unsurprisingly) we got along perfectly. and it was clear that her gap year in Paraguay was a great experience. It was bitter-sweet when she left, I definitely didn't want her to go- but we have less than 5 months when we see eachother again- and if not in Spain when I'm there- then for Christmas in London which I'm very excited about. It's so much better than the year and a half schedule we'd previously been on. We went to Cape Cod and I showed her around Fairfield/NYC area. And we said goodbye to Kelsey in Cape Cod. (she was leaving the next day for australia) And we went to the mid-night showing of Pirates, with what seemed like everyone else from glastonbury. and now i'm counting down to christmas!!
We had an IRHA meeting at Fairfield today, and everyone was making comments about how I wouldnt be here 1st semester. And afterwards I had to say goodbye to everyone till january- which was definitely odd. Mom and Sarah had been shopping in Westport while i was in the meeting- and mom bought me a dress which she claimed would be perfect for Spain... and I got Kels' first e-mail from Australia... it just hit me all at once as I was reading the e-mail that it's my turn to leave the states in a month and a half. Surprisingly, I'm not scared. Well, thats a bit of a lie, I'm nervous for my enterance exam. But, other than that, I'm more excited than anything.
Pratt and Whitney is going really well. My supervisor went on maternity leave, and they paired me with a new mentor who has my exact majors/minor- which has been really cool. And, I've been trusted with a lot more this summer. (Like planning an entire conference which starts tomorrow- I'm v. nervous.) And the interns in marketing are fabulous. Last summer I had Farrell, but this summer- there are 4 of us in marketing - and we've become wicked close. And the opportunities I've gotten this summer have been 10 times better than last summer, so I'm defintely much happier at Pratt.
and to this whole "relationship" thing, I confess I'm confused myself. I figure I'm leaving for spain before I need to figure anything out- and i'm going to be crappy and take that way out. summer flings are supposed to be like that, right? actually, i dont want the answer to that.
BUUTTT, i talked to my head-supervisor AND the director of Sales, MKT, and Cust. Service about life after graduation- and they've both given me names of people in Spain and London to hook up with while i'm over there- and give my resumes to. Who knows, maybe I will stay overseas after all?? i dont know if i'd ever be ballsy enough to take it, but being given the opportunity- i figure I should atleast try.
