July 30, 2010

Wow, it's almost August. These first 7 months have flown by. I guess time does mean a lot more to you once you're older than when you're a child. Or maybe time really does become valuable as you get older. I don't know but I've been here for 3 weeks yet it doesn't feel like it. But when I think about I guess it has been that long. I've been to Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore-although that's like travelling the 20 miles from my house to a local mall that I deem far- since I've been back. It was fun. I regret nothing but it just seems like I having been doing much. Oh well Monday seems hopeful. Really, once Tre starts school my days will be hopefully spent behind a desk for 8 hours and 1 hour travel time to and from work and then home to study for the GMAT exam that I plan to take in the spring (yeah, I'm going to take them). It would be ok for now. I still hope to find gainful employment within a year. You know a job with full benefits, i.e. dental, vision, in addition to a retirement plan and maybe some potential ability for promotions. Something regular. Stable. Well, hope everyone had wonderful Julys and a better August!

I arrived in D.C. on July 9, 2010. Ever since it has been like a party. Hanging with my bff and another friend from home, the majority of our time was either drinking, smoking, or driving and several of the combinations of the 3. It's been fun. It reminds me of how awesome summer can be and most times is. Domiqj visited for a weekend and gave us a new drink to use. I've been looking for jobs online, public and private sectors, so far. It's just that I am so happy to be in a city where the possibility of me not driving exists everyday. The possibility to walk and along the way have lunch, buy a shirt, have ice cream, and see a movie all on the same block exists. It's great to walk outside and see people walking down the street and kids playing on the sidewalks. It's summmer in the District. In so many ways it's just like summer at home. During the day people go to work or hustle up on some money for that night. And as soon as the entire crew is off you meet up go have some drinks maybe some appetizers and some great conversation. Only thing is that at home it's a lot more familiar to me. I know where to go, who I am going with and who's meeting us there, and what to expect. Here is all new and I'm ready for this. Job searching by day, hanging by night.

June Top 7

Food - Summer is in full effect. And that means one thing- random BBQs. I'll bbq just about anything-meat, fish, vegetables, hell even fruit.
TV - Summer tv is usually a hit and miss with me. One reason is because summer nights are the best. It's warm out, and people are out, so why be holed up in a house.
Movies - I was very excited to see The Last Airbender. The cartoon is definitely one of my favorite cartoons of all times. It has so much relevance in today's society although it was set in ancient Asia.
Music - I don't have any really solid summer tunes. Usually I have a set playlist of the hottest summer jams but I've been slacking on my music game lately.
Moment - Right June seems like a blur. Hitting up Margaritas in downtown Belleville for a few shenanigans or being live from the FP. Besides that not much happened.
Random - I'm so ready for something new.
