Despite the fact that I only slept 4 hours last night due to a coughing fit, today was a pretty good day. I love that I can wake up and go to Forever 21, return my shirt and stroll to the National Mall, passing by the Department of Justice (a gorgeous building) thinking what if they call me back tomorrow and hire me for that unpaid internship I applied to? As I continued my walk I found myself surrounded by plants and trees and butterflies. Finally, the butterfly garden is in bloom and I blissfully listened to my i-pod continuing my stroll until I came to the Natural History Museum where I reaffirmed my love for animals.
It's been a rough week. I got a soar throat last Monday, which I assume I caught from my co-worker. While hers lasted less than a week I am suffering 11 days later with the remnants of a cough and a raspy voice. Go crappy immune systems! In addition, my computer decided not to turn on last Saturday and cross your fingers it should be returning to my abode today, I've been computerless for the last week and half. This was all very stressful when I finished my internship on Friday and was desperately trying to find something to do for the summer so I could stay here. As I continuously reassured my mother that I would find something secretly (well not so secretly) I was freaking out that dream would never become a reality...until yesterday!! I have an internship for the summer thanks to some spiffy connections, and yes a very good resume, I will be interning for the next 10 weeks at B'nai B'rith and starting in June I will be living in U St. with one of my closest DC friends!
All of these events make me hopeful that next week will be better, I'll be cough free and starting a paid (yup what now Department of Justice) internship. I'll also supposedly have my computer if everything goes as planned. All and all it will be fantastic. I've experienced a lot of ups and downs these past four months, which makes me realize that the next 10 weeks may bring some of the most unexpected events. From bike rides, to birthday cakes, to best friends, happy hours, kickball and much more.
Since I haven't updated you for awhile in the ways of my life I'll fill you in a bit. I went out to H St. for the first time in March (and the last time but I must go back). H St. is amazing!!! I went to see a show at the Rock N' Roll Hotel and afterwards went up to the dance part, best music ever!! Everything 90s, 80s, and 2000s that you would love mashed up together. The lights, the music, the people makes H St. my favorite place I've been out in DC so far. On my list of things to do Shamrock and Star the local Jewish/Irish bar.
I finally went to Tryst and observed as many hipsters as I ever have, but this time they were adult size...weird. Adult hipsters were something I never thought about until I stepped foot into this cute Adam's Morgan coffee shop. I also experienced Amsterdam Falafel...while really good, slightly overrated (mind you I'm not a huge falafel fan).
I've toured several embassies but somehow missed out on the Jamaican rum punch and the Belgian waffles. Although I did learn that Estonia is filled with blondes who wear shoes with beautiful embroidery and hideous outfits. I've had friends over for dinner, went to roof top parties, helped my friend move apartments, and sunbathed on the Mall. I am excited for what the smoldering heat of June and July brings and the numerous roof top pools I plan to crash.
