Hello all! I know it's been awhile, but things have finally started to quiet down a little bit. I've been at home since my time in New England ended and have really enjoyed spending time with my friends and family! My dad and I spent Thanksgiving together while my mom and April were in Kenya visiting my older sister, Christina. It was nice getting to spend time with my dad! I've been back at Showplace working to save up some cash for the internship. I've met a lot of new workers there and have made a lot of new friends as well as catching up with old ones! I had to work Christmas night, but I had plenty of time during the day to hang out with the family! Mom made her amazing breakfast casserole, cheese dip, and roast. Yummy! Life has been pretty awesome, and I'm very thankful!
Today I booked my flight to Washington, D.C. I will be leaving early January 15th. I booked a one-way flight which was definitely a bit scary! Not knowing what my future holds is something new for me. I like to plan things and know whats going on in my life. We received the program options for our internship. They have this great program in the Department of Political Training that I would love to participate in! We would be able to network with top political faculty and make some great connections. I also found interest in the Recruitment program, working to recruit participants for our training program. That would give me some great marketing skills. But, we will see! God will place me where he knows I will work best!
And now...time for the dreaded step of packing. What in the world do I take? It's a lot like when I was packing for my field work...what do I take for 3 months? Granted I won't be traveling as much, so that will make things a little easier. I know that I have to take a lot of business clothes, which I'm excited about! Having an excuse to wear heels everyday is going to be fun. Finally all of my shoes will be put to use! My friend Stephanie and I are going to room together, which is going to be so much fun!! We've been talking about this internship since our training together back in August. I'm so excited to share this experience with her!
Well, time to get ready for work. I'll update you once I find out what program I have been assigned!
