I’m officially moving back to the east coast on August 24th! I am flying into Baltimore and staying with my grandma and aunt until the 27th, and then moving into intern housing on Capitol Hill! My apartment is supposedly close to the metro, a grocery store, and is only a few blocks from the nation’s capitol, so I couldn’t be more excited about my location. I should be getting all of my roommate information tomorrow, but as of now I know I’m sharing a room with 3 other girls and most likely a few other girls will share the apartment with us. It’s going to be a tight squeeze, but D.C. housing is ridiculously expensive, and I figure after living in a sorority house with 53 girls for 2 straights years, I will do just fine!
I’m really happy that I’m living in intern housing because the people I will be living with will all be on the same page. We will most likely all be out of state, college-aged interns who aren’t familiar with the city, and I think in a sense it will be like living in the dorms again! Fingers crossed I have laid back roommates who have a good balance between work and play. It will definitely be hard competing with my roommates from senior year, but I’m optimistic that things will work out well. I’m obviously in D.C. to further my career goals and gain more experience in the news industry, but I turn 22 at the end of September and want to have a few fun girlfriends who will celebrate with me and will want to get a few drinks every now and then to let loose on the weekends (that is, if I’m not assigned to the weekend news)!
I should be finding out more about my living situation and my CBS internship assignment soon, so I will definitely blog once I know more. Until then, I have to start packing, running last minute errands like dentist and hair appointments, and of course, shopping for work clothes. D.C. is an extremely fashionable city so the pressure is on to find cute yet sophisticated work clothes…I’m thinking H&M and Nordstrom Rack will be some of my first stops. At my last internship with NBC, I could wear anything from dress pants and a blouse to cute Summer dresses with a sweater, and I rarely wore heels. But D.C. is a big news market, so who knows what interns out there will be wearing. I also have to factor in that I will be in D.C. from the most hot and humid part of the Summer to mid Winter…that definitely won’t make packing any easier!
The weather forecast for next week in D.C. has temperatures in the 80′s and 90′s, with a few scattered lightening and thunderstorms throughout the week…as much as I’m ready to say goodbye to San Diego for a while, it’s going to be hard competing with this beautiful weather.
