Hello there my fellow collegiettes™!
My first month in DC, which has felt like 3 long months, has been indescribable. Since my last blog post, abo0ut 3 weeks ago, I have been on the move every single day, working, studying, and exploring. I have not had enough time in the day to do every single thing I want to, hence the reason I have not updated you guys in so long!
Here are some of the highlights of my trip thus far:
I finally went Kayaking on the Potomac! For being a first-time kayaker, I did pretty good. Luckily, I did it right before it got too cold.
One of the best things about DC are all the free events in town. One of my favorites was the H-Street Festival. The festival, which stretched about 8 blocks, featured upcoming artists, delicious foods,and some vintage finds. My favorite part of it was the art appreciation.
While working at Book Hill Partners, I am also taking a night class. In this class, I study the history of DC and attend tours around the city. This past week, we took a tour of Old Town, Alexandria. I loved the vintage-feel of it.
I have had the honor of attending many networking galas here in DC. At the galas, I have chatted with professionals in my field, and have created connections that hopefully will help me after I graduate. Just last night, I attended The Washington Center’s Gala, where they honored their sponsors/donors. I sat with the representives of Verizon, who were all Boston Red Sox fans. This served for great conversation, as I tried my best to represent for my NYY! Nonetheless, it was a great experience.
I still have a little over 2 months left in DC and I can’t even imagine what’s in store for me! For now, I will try my best to manage my time better and update you all on life here in the nation’s capital!
