Reading Lindsay's blog about her summer in DC has inspired me to start blogging about my summer in Houston. Although I'm grateful to have a paid internship for the summer, I can pretty much say with confidence that Houston is not as exciting as DC. However, I'm determined to make the most of it.
I'm living in a swanky apartment complex in Midtown, a place where twenty and thirty somethings go to live their fabulous childless, young lives. There are cars in my parking garage that are nice enough to have covers over them (what?!). I really want to take a peek but I'm scared the cops will be sent over immediately. The important thing is that I feel safe here. Key pads and code entrances galore..a big step up from the shanky magnetic doors at the Block that open if you yank hard enough.
I'm living with two other girls who are both interning at the same company as me this summer (yay for carpooling!). They're returning interns so they know a little more than I do, which I'm grateful for. They're both engineers. One goes to the University of Texas (hook e'm!) and the other goes to Missouri S&T. So far we've bonded over shopping for new work clothes, watching Sex in the City 2, renting movies at blockbuster, and going to a mediocre Tex-Mex restaurant. Last night we met up with some other interns at Howl at the Moon, a duelling piano bar. I've never been to a place like that before...very entertaining! It ended up being right next to the grocery store I go to, which was strange. Anyway, I was so glad to get out and do something! My weekdays have consisted of waking up at 6 am, going to work, working out, dinner, shower, and sleep by 10 pm. I don't know how working adults do this, especially with kids! I'd be absolutely exhausted.
I'll stop here for now. I'm plugged into the modem/router/square-thing for internet until I can get the wireless working on my laptop. It's working for everyone else but not me :( . Why Comcast? WHY?
Time for the Harry Potter extravaganza on ABC Family. Livin' the dream.
