I"m in the midst of week three of the internship. I"m still forming my opinion. It"s such a large firm and everyone has nothing but great things to say about it...it"s sort of strange. I feel like it"s a bit cultish. I like my supervisor, I like my project, I like my commute, I like the perks of working in my department, and I LOVE being back home! However, being home sort of puts me at a disadvantage in the networking department. I can"t make it to all of the intern events because I have so many obligations here. The other interns are out here on their own so they depend on the intern events for social activities and I just don"t have time for all of them. There are lots of things I could say about the internship but I"m reserving my judgements until the end of the summer. In the meantime I have to say that Moab is AWESOME! The BF and I went on a little road trip before I started work. We went to Zion to hike the Narrows. Sadly, the Narrows were closed but we managed to do another hike. Then we went to Bryce Canyon. Then Escalante for some slot canyons. Then off to Moab for some awesome mountain biking. And finally to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Sometimes I forget how lucky we are to live so close to such beauty! Anyway, Moab mountain biking is so unbelievably fun! I almost killed myself about a dozen times but it was so worth it! I was feeling pretty studly after finishing the Slickrock trail. Although, I can"t wear any skirts anytime soon. I did some serious damage to my legs on some of my crashes. But I"ll say it again...it was AWESOME! And last weekend I ran marathon number 4 in San Diego. I haven"t been to San Diego in so long, I forgot how beautiful it was. Perfect weather for running too. I didn"t run anywhere near my goal but I did improve my time by almost 10 minutes. I was in the top 5% of my division and top 11% overall. I would have done so much better if I hadn"t started flaking on my training 5 weeks ago. C"est La Vie. I"m thinking about Honolulu in December? Or maybe Nashville with a friend? But for now, I"m taking a week off of and recovering...feels good! More on the internship later. Until then I hope everyone is taking advantage of the summer! |
