Counting Down...

Tomorrow marks the three week mark until the end of the program here. It's kind of hard to believe, in all honesty...it's just that I've gotten so used to the routine of going to my internship and working on assignments that the time has slipped away. And while I've enjoyed my time back here, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited to get back to Beaverton and Newberg this summer.

My last few weeks in DC aren't going to be uneventful, either. This weekend my cousins from Maryland are picking me up and taking me to their home for Easter. And then next week, we have our final project for our current unit in international policy. I'm not too worried about this one, considering it's a group project and the members of my group are really on top of things.

My last weekend here is going to be fantastic. Actually, it won't be "here," per se, but rather in New York City. Kevin and I are taking the Amtrak a few hours north and staying with his family friend. While there, we're taking a tour of Yankee Stadium (I've been before, but Kevin has not) and catching a Mets game on Sunday afternoon before coming back. But the coolest part, for me at least, is that after our tour at Yankee Stadium afternoon, we're going to stay in the Bronx and find a cool place to watch that afternoon's Yankees-Red Sox game. I don't think I can prepare myself enough for what that will be like.

Tonight, a bunch of us are catching a Nationals game. They play the Diamondbacks. It's going to be the first time I watch a game in a National League ballpark. Should be fun!
