My freshman year at MIT is OVER. As I was saying goodbye to my friends I realized how much my life has changed in just 9 months. I've certainly had troubles, like getting hit by a car, but I have met some of the greatest people, and I now have a true passion for engineering. It feels pretty awesome!
I've yet to unpack, and I'm sure that will be a bit of a chore. In the meanwhile, I'm enjoying being home in the suburbs of a small town in Pennsylvania. It's a welcomed change of pace to be served meals and to see a forest outside my house! Tonight I even had three of my close high school friends over. At around 10 we got hungry and decided to go out for ice cream... It's a Saturday night, but that didn't stop the first three places we went to from being closed. I should probably get back onto a normal person sleep schedule...
Actually, it's pretty crucial I get on a normal schedule because I begin my full time internship on Monday. I'll be working 8-4 everyday at Amtrak in the engineering department. I had to go buy professional clothes today - a huge change from my lifeguarding uniform I wore all last summer!
As for the rest of my summer, my third cousin from Poland is coming to spend two weeks with me in June/July. We've been pen pals since we were six, and I visited her last summer, so I am looking forward to showing her the States! After that, I'm spending three weeks learning Polish language in Krakow, Poland courtesy of MIT and their generous scholarship.
To say I'm excited for this summer is an understatement. I just wish I had a little more time to unpack. Oh well, that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
