The Real Summer Update
I went home for the weekend, which was nice. Went to see Pirates, went to Tiffany's birthday, David's family thing, Christina's surprise birthday party, and Roni's baby shower. It was all a lot of fun. I'm oh so very glad I went home. It was exhausting, but wonderful. And now I'm back. And now... I really really don't want to be back. I'm homesick. I don't want to be here. I'd rather be anywhere but here, for now anyway. I want to go back home. Home home, or Ithaca home, it doesn't really matter. Here is "home" for convenience sake, but it's not really. It never has been. I want to be somewhere where I feel I belong, and that is not here.
School is stressful. The four credit class, public policy, is interesting but very boring. Midterm came at a bad time, and now there's a group project and before I left to go home, we all agreed that we'd meet tonight, after I got back. And then I got back to find that they had all met without me and mostly finished the project. Also, I have homework due tomorrow, for my fun two credit course, which I must do tonight or else I'll have to do it at work tomorrow and I won't be able to do that.
I designed a t shirt for the summer in washington program. Or rather, Elise came up with the concept and I designed the shirt. I got a brownie from one of my professors as a thank you reward thing.
Internship is awesome, but having to balance it with school makes it very very stressful. I do have two articles published, but I had hoped to have more by this point. I feel like I can't really keep up with it all, and am having a lot of trouble balancing the schoolwork and the work work. I mean, it's wonderful, I absolutely love it. I'm a journalist for United Press International. It's so amazing. After this, I know I want to go into journalism. It's just that I feel that I would be getting so much more out of it if it weren't for school, and I'm disappointed in myself for not doing better.
Have I mentioned that I'm having roommate problems?
And I feel very alone.
I need to get to more museums. I've been to the spy museum two times already, but there are so so so many I haven't even gotten the chance to walk by. The spy museum, by the way, is amazing. So awesome!
Dupont Circle, where the Cornell Center is located, is a very nice area. Me like.
For a while I was thinking, "Hey, DC is nice. Maybe I'll end up living here for a few years someday." Now I realize there's no way. It's nice to visit but as far as actually living here, I just can't do it.
Three weeks left.
Oh, I love the other interns at UPI. They're all awesome. Super great to talk to. I'm going to miss them when I leave.
But still...only three weeks left. I can't wait. I want to go home.
But before home, camping trip with Catherine! Hurrah!
Then home for a week and a half.
Then back to Ithaca.
Hopefully by then I'll be recovered from all this.
