So, I've taken to going on Monday "field trips." I am definitely enough of a nerd that this is fun. A couple of weeks ago I went to the White House. Just, you know, to check up on it! Make sure it was still there and everything. ;] I've also been to the Smithsonian and to the Capitol building (you can pretty much walk right up to the front of it, which I totally didn't remember; you know when to stop because there are little fences over the stairs and REALLY STERN LOOKING GUARDS). And once, the zoooooooo. :D
I really do love D.C., and always have, and now I get to wander around it like a tourist, except I live here. When I went to the White House I brought my class reading with me and found a park with a bench, and people asked me for directions. And I gave them. Because I live here. So that's pretty cool and everything, but all things considered?
This first semester has been a pretty monumental experience (ahahaha unintentional pun, monuments are in D.C., monumental, I'M SO FUNNY), and I'm sure I've changed a lot in ways I don't even realize-- although I do think a lot has stayed the same, as well. And when I'm home for Christmas break I'm going to miss a bunch of stuff (free museums, spontaneous trips to the White House, and the fabulous public transportation come to mind). But it's time to go home for a while, it just is. I miss everybody like crazy, and of course it doesn't help that I'll be on the East Coast for Thanksgiving-- even though my uncles are wonderful, stupendous, amazing people who invited me to stay with them over break, so I will be doing Thanksgiving with family, at least. :]
Anyway! The point is I want to see my family, and my friends, and, you know. My cat. ;] Sleep in my own bed, not have to go to work (did I mention I'm a commuter now? because I am! I feel like a little kid playing dress-up or something; I don't feel old enough to have a 9-5 job and a commute, even if it is part-time). I want to really catch up with everybody. Facebook is great for the basics, but I want to actually sit down and talk and find out what life has been like.
Also I really love giving people presents. What can I say. IT IS FUN.
It makes me so happy that you can just go to the White House whenever you're feeling in the mood. I know the "wait-I-realized-I-actually-live-in-a-city-and-am-used-to-it" feeling as well and it's pretty strange but also really satisfying to know the transition is over. Can't wait to see you!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me happy, too! Haha. And yes, I'm so relieved that the transition is over-- or ending, at least.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm really psyched to see you! :]
