The Last Week...Wait, What?!
I only have one week and two days left in Washington D.C. I am stressed and bogged down with tons of classwork. I am sad to leave my internship. I am excited about applying for jobs in the D.C. Metropolitan area. I am eager to come back and live here for a while so I can do everything on my to-do list! I am mostly in shock that this semester has gone by so quickly. I have never experienced a semester in which I was not a little (or a lot) homesick nor where I just wanted the semester to continue. But in D.C., I do want my semester-long internship to last forever!!
I promise to post reflections and much more information once I arrive home to Ohio in two weeks. I had a very nice Thanksgiving break in Ohio and was able to relax and not do any schoolwork :) Now, onto interning, doing homework, soaking up the holiday season in D.C., and enjoying every last second of #LifeAsAnIntern in D.C.!
My awesome group for my Nonprofit Leadership and Management course. We work with a hypothetical nonprofit organization called the Springbrook Art Museum. We create everything that a nonprofit needs, but for our nonprofit!

One of my coworkers made gallo pinto just for me. I am really going to miss my job.

My favorite place to eat lunch during lunch breaks is a tiny little place that has the most AMAZING crab cakes and all organic and local salads.
Latin Thanksgiving is the best Thanksgiving ever...complete with pupsas! I joined our survivor's support group from Nueva Vida for their Thanksgiving feast.

Dear Caitlin,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful First Sunday of Advent! :-) You there and as liturgist (you are so good), Mario, Mel, & Dante visit, Janie as the Elder for Lindsey's baby's baptism!!! From your pictures it looks like you had a pretty good visit!
I am so glad that you seem to have found something you truly love, looks like you are going to be a D.C. person! I am sorry that your internship is about over and can only imagine how hard these last days will be. Just work hard, enjoy every moment, and then cherish each memory!
When you get home I would love to see you, maybe Monday the 14th would work, let me know!
Take care & love,
Lucy
