Now that we have some sort of routine in place and are
slowly removing our tourist badges, life is developing some sort of schedule.
The days are inconceivable long, fast, and humid, but we wouldn’t be in the
district without those three characteristics, would we?
In this past week, I’ve learned that balance is most important,
especially when entering a new adventure. Balancing basic needs such as rest
and proper eating – all while keeping up with the non-stop energy of DC. We
must learn that taking time for ourselves is not a sign of weakness, but intelligence
and perseverance. There’s nothing admirable about working a 10 week internship
if by the end of it you can barely function because of exhaustion.
