I'm way too stressed out considering the fact that it's summer and I'm not actually doing anything at all. I'm working for my sister, who's an associate broker at DuVal Associates. She owns a bunch of rental properties so basically I just process rent checks as they come in, send out notices when tenants are late paying their rent, and then do some other simple stuff like making up fliers for newly listed properties (which is actually kind of fun), sending out letters to expired listings or people that have listed their homes for sale by owner encouraging them to list with an agent. It's all pretty basic and kind of boring stuff, but I like it because I don't have set hours, I can show up whenever I am actually out of bed. Usually I get there around 2 or 3pm. And then I'm off whenever I've finished the stuff that I'm supposed to do for the day. It's not a bad job, but I was just stressed out about the fact that it seems like everyone has an internship and I don't, and this is the last summer before I apply to law school and all that.
So I applied to this internship in DC that Hannah told me about, with the Woodrow Wilson Center. I didn't really think it through because I didn't even think I would get it, but then I did. And I accepted it without really thinking about it because I was so excited... so now I'm supposed to start an internship at the Wilson Center in about two weeks... and I live about 3 hours southeast of DC and have nowhere to live in DC. This type of stuff always gets me in trouble. I don't think things through.
But I guess I will find a way to make it work. I think my parents are pretty upset about it though. Every summer we go to the Greenbrier for awhile, and I love it there, and would hate to miss out on it this year, but if I have this internship I won't be able to go. And every summer Jen and I see Dave Matthews. We were especially excited for the concert this summer, because it's on the 4th of July at the beach and we are both 21 now. But I'll have to sell my ticket if I take this internship. It's like the internship is messing up all my summer plans, and I'm not happy about that. But at the same time I feel like I really need this job. I don't know what to do. It's way too much stress.
Next Friday Alan and I are going to DC for the weekend. I can't wait, I miss him!
