I find that any week I miss my internship, I end up feeling sad and lonely. I spent the last week on vacation, spending plenty of quality time with my dad and my husband, so why should this be? Well, now I'm back at home and I still have time with my husband - and I saw Danielle and neighbors yesterday. Still, I have a need to be connected in society in a bigger way. That's what the internship provides: more connections to more people and membership to a group that is meaningful to me. I do good things there. I contribute. I was never one to be content just "hanging out," even if I enjoy the company. I want to do something, feel productive.
I have a teacher talking to me about jobs. I was thinking if I were offered a job (granted, I've not had an interview, but I'm just sayin'), it seems far more sensible to hold on to my current job. Yet the thought of turning down an opportunity is terribly depressing. We'll see what happens in that arena, but for the moment, I'm sad and a bit lonely. I have many thoughts about things I want to do in life... but I need to focus, get school work done. Just 5 more weeks...
