I woke up at 6 a.m. to leave for the metro at 7 a.m.. I needed to transfer at Metro Center, but when I got there it said the next train wasn’t coming for 25 minutes! That didn’t leave me enough time to catch my Amtrak to Baltimore so I had to go outside, find an ATM to get cash, and then find a cab at 7:30 a.m. on a Saturday. That was successful enough—but when I got to Union Station that was a whole other adventure to find my train! I thought the train was going to bring us right into the airport, but it didn’t. I had to cross the street and then wait for a shuttle bus to come take me to the airport from the train stop. The way back was even worse—I don’t want to get into it!
Finally I got to Cleveland, a few hours later, and I have never been so excited to go there! All my friends were so happy to see me, and our new pledge class is great. Here is me, my little sister, and my brand new grand little—just a very small fraction of the whole fam!
I was only there for about 36 hours but it was completely worth it. The visit reaffirmed how much I love APhi and Case and I have to say it was so hard to come back here. But now it’s Wednesday, and I’m back in the swing of things. This past weekend seems like a distant dream now.
No lecture this week, just a resume workshop with Fred at TWC. The weather on Monday was fantastic—70 degrees, sunny, light breeze. I wish it could stay that way forever. Unfortunately, it won’t.
I’m so tired right now, work has been long and stressful this week. Tomorrow Fred and I are coming to a final decision about what to do—my internship either is, or isn’t. I’m sick of waiting, and want to make some headway.
Lessons of the week:
1) If you can avoid it, don’t fly out of Baltimore unless you have a ride!
2) If your internship really isn't right for you (and I mean is just awful) then don’t wait around. Consult with your program advisor and make a change. Your time here is limited and you will want to make the most of it.
