A couple of days away from DC and I'm already starting to forget what my computer looks like. I must admit, it has been nice to get out of the office. So where have I been? Let's recap:
A little over a week ago my parents rolled into DC to see their second oldest/first in heart son. The required site-seeing commenced and I stayed busy tagging along with mom and dad and seeing the sites. One of which I had not seen before was the Basilica in DC, which happens to be the largest cathedral in the western hemisphere (who knew?).
All in all, those last few trips were a good way for me to say goodbye to DC. I'll definitely miss it.
Somewhere in there I managed to get the flu/a stomach virus/food poisoning and so I drove fifteen hours across the country feeling not the best and roughly three days eating very little. But it seems that I have survived and so all is well.
I was able to spend a day and a half in Mount Vernon to catch up with friends and say some more goodbyes. It was good to be there because it reminded me that there are a few reasons for wanting to stay in Mount Vernon this year. But in a way this makes leaving more fun: something to come back to.
Then I chopped my hair off and headed home.
And here am I. I have spent most of today reading GRE material (very exciting I know). I now officially have less than two weeks until I leave, which means I have less than a week until I should probably start thinking about it.
I wish I had an entertaining story to tell, or some hot topic to get preachy about, but I guess my brain is tired. I've been meaning to put up short stories that I've been floating around in my head, but I haven't managed to put the pen to the paper yet.
Catch you in a few.
