Lists, planning, summer, DC and more lists

Obviously it is very cliche to say that 'This summer is going to be the best summer of my life' but honestly that is the way I feel.

This summer I have awesome opportunities!

There are so many things I want to do and see.

Science shows (sorry, psychology is kind of my thing) that people who visualize, make lists, and goals, achieve goals, seize opportunities, and ultimately improve life quality by 80%.

Therefore I like to visualize and make lists.

I make them all the time.

I made one for things I want to do before I die.

I was the kid who always had every birthday party planned like 6 months in advance.

Yeah, I was such a cool kid.

This summer I want to try new things, meet new people, eat new food, go new places and ultimately be put out of my element.

This summer I want to be the summer of newness.

It seems like this summer has just started but is already half way over.

But yet I still have a month before I leave for 3 1/2 weeks in DC.

Well 31 days to be exact.

Crazy, 31 days and the only thing that I have for my trip is my uniform, shoes, and 2 pair of shorts.

Not even a plane ticket.

So prepared, I know.

I just wish I was there already!

I just want to be there!!

I want to explore the city and live in the DC moment.

Suddenly, a city I never thought about, is always on my mind.

I promise you my last 4 dreams, well that I can remember, were about DC.

Sad, I know, but hey you would be excited too!

Seriously tell me you would not be excited about getting the opportunity to work in this building

5 days a week!
