10 things I will NOT miss

I will not miss somethings about DC. These are the top 10 things I will not miss.

  1. The lack of a sense of community
  2. The fast pace all the time
  3. The tourists
  4. Missing my Yellow Line Metro by 12 seconds
  5. The lack of internet in my apartment or if there is internet the ridiculously slow speed of it
  6. Getting home so late at night that you feel there is no time left to do anything
  7. Paying $1.75 for each load of laundry to wash and then paying the same amount to dry it
  8. Paying way too much for groceries, transportation really everything
  9. Not sleeping well because of the noise,light or just not sleeping well
  10. Crazy people who try to run you over in the crosswalks, happens everywhere if you jaywalk but it happens when you are not jaywalking in DC

10 things I miss about DC

Okay so I promised myself that I would make a list of the things I would miss about DC and another list of things I will not miss. This is the list of things I will miss.

  1. Roommates
  2. My view from the 11th Floor
  3. Public Transportation (I know that sounds weird but I loved getting places and not having to worry about driving there)
  4. The independence
  5. The office, work and the people there
  6. The ward
  7. Rain
  8. Never having a boring Saturday with so much to do mostly MY MALL
  9. The History that is everywhere
  10. My walk home, I really really really loved walking home. I got to walk between the Supreme Court bulding, the Library of Congress and the Capitol Building(favorite ever) everyday.

Update on life

So I have been home for a while now and I am just barely realizing that a lot of the things that I was hoping wouldn't happen have started to happen and the things that I was hoping would happen are not happening.

So I set a goal to get up early still every morning and that has so far fallen through quite bad, ten doesn't qualify as early. I am slacking in my nutrition, I am not eating good foods or at good times. I am slacking on scripture study, I know a horrible thing to admit but I am going to be honest about to you the world of blogdom. I am not spending as much time away from home being social like I wish I was. Honestly I realized that last night when my parents noticed that I am doing the same things I was before I left. Dang I was caught.

I am a total dreamer and things that I was hoping to happen aren't. Maybe because I am still living in a bit of fantasy DC land. I was hoping to have an exceptionally padded resume and I have to even find a job that I can fill in July. So I am worrying about a lot of ridiculous things that I shouldn't really be worrying about.

Things that are working out for me though are ones that are more long term. I am signed up for classes and I am mostly excited I would be more excited if I didn't have a math class in my schedule. I am taking a bunch of history and poli-sci classes and that just thrills me. Life is such a great when things work out.
