My first weekend in DC was a success. I tried to assimilate into the culture of DC as I found my way around and where all the basic necessities are. On Saturday, I went to Union Station which is full of great shops, a post office, and restaurants. Then I went to the Eastern Market which has a farmer’s market on the weekends so there was tons of fresh produce, meat, bread, and cheese. I also had breakfast at the Eastern Market. I had an egg BLT which was delicious. My last stop was the nearest Starbucks where I began to dwindle my gift cards from Christmas on expensive coffee and enjoy.
On Sunday I found a church to go to! It is a part of National Community Church which has many locations in DC. They invited all Capitol Hill staff and interns back for a lunch which was a great opportunity to meet people. They had Chipotle for us which I absolutely love and never get to eat at home. After church, my roommate and I found the nearest Target. We decided that we have quickly turned into city girls who take the metro and our own shopping bags.
This week I started work. After my third day, I am absolutely exhausted. I am not a morning person and waking up early for work is definitely a challenge. On Monday after work I also had class which makes for a super long day! But I am adjusting to my new schedule.
Last night we got another small amount of snow! It was so beautiful. This morning I had to carefully find sidewalks without snow so I wouldn’t slip. I never thought when I came to DC that Athens would see more snow than I would! But we only got an inch here. I am sure there will be more to come…
it is quite funny that the snow DC got was so little considering Cobb schools have been out all week! No school Thursday either...but I saw that further north was hit hard, so count your blessings! Keep up the posts...it is fun hearing about your adventures!
