Well, in 2 days my summer vacation is technically
over. Why so early you ask? Tuesday begins the
2012 GW Volleyball season! I can’t wait to see all of my teammates and begin
our journey to the A10 Championships.
And while I refer to it as 'summer vacation,' it never truly felt like summer to me. As you may
have inferred from my last post, I stayed in DC this entire summer instead of
going home to Wisconsin. And from the moment my last final exam ended in May,
my summer has been busier then I could have ever imagined. I’ve been interning
all summer at ATF and it has been quite a rewarding experience to say the
least. I learned a great deal and was exposed to possible careers to pursue
after graduation. In addition to interning, I also took multiple classes here
at GW, working hard to that I can earn my double major in Psychology and
Criminal Justice. So between interning all day, working out, and taking classes
at night five days a week, my summer schedule was more than a little full.
Fortunately, despite being so busy, I was able to go home
for a few days in between my summer class sessions. It was a welcome, albeit
too brief of a break and I was so thankful to see my family and friends for a
few days and spend the 4th of July weekend with them. I also was able to continue
one of my summer traditions—go to Summerfest, America’s largest musical
festival, which is held every summer in Milwaukee on Lake Michigan (aka 10
minutes from my house). Last year, I ended up seeing 17 concerts at Summerfest within
the span of 10 days, but since I was only home for a few days this summer, I was
only able to see 2—Lady Antebellum and Darius Rucker—and both of them were amazing. However, I did go to another concert
this summer in nearby Bristow, Virginia. I saw Sugarland, who never fails to put on a
fantastic show. Obviously, I love concerts. They are probably my favorite
summer activity.
I can’t believe that summer is basically over and I’m about
to begin my senior year, but I am excited! And of course I’ll keep you all
updated on my life as my senior year unfolds.
