Reflections, Sort Of

My cousin Emily started a blog today and I'm honestly so excited about it. Emily loves to cook and to bake, and she's so good at it. She and I were talking a few weeks ago about how she wants to just cook and bake and do interesting things and have a great life and blog about it, and she's finally started and I hope she keeps it up. I'd love to see some of the things she'd write about, I've missed her a lot since I left home for college.

I've started making more lists. I've always loved making lists, I'll do it for anything just for an excuse. A few times I've made lists of everything I'm packing for trips, not so that I wouldn't forget anything but just so that I could make the list. Recently I've been making weekly to-do lists. They've actually been helpful, I'm remembering everything that I have to do, and having it written in front of me so that I can cross it off actually motivates me to get things done. Hopefully I'll keep up with it.

I can't believe it's already the third week of my internship. It doesn't feel like it's been that long at all, but at the same time I feel like I've been there for months. The work, though I'm not going to be very specific, is fine. It's basically just regular office stuff, nothing hard. A lot of sitting in front of the computer (which you'd think I'd be used to anyway). If anything, it's tedious, but it's worth it to be down here and working in the capitol. I'm already thinking about next summer, too, and what kind of job I'll have then. The internship I have now is a one-time-only thing, so I'll have to find something new. I wouldn't mind having just a regular job, working in a store or something. It'd be great to work somewhere where I actually shop so I can have the discount (hah), but I want something that'll be good experience, too. Not that working in retail wouldn't be good experience. I'd be dealing with the public, so that'd be good for the future. And really, at this point in my life, I'd value pretty much any work experience that isn't just babysitting. That's a whole year away though, nothing that I have to worry about now. Not for a few more months, anyway. For now I'm just going to enjoy what I have now, and how well things are going.
