Last week

It is now my last week of the internship. Tomorrow will be my last day. I am now feeling the reality of the fact that the conclusion of this position is imminent. It will be odd to not have to wake up early and put on some dress clothes. I also won’t be eating breakfast anymore because I will now be asleep at that hour. I will miss the hard work and ability to continually improve my skills. Tomorrow I will give my last presentation, a Team Session, which was developed to give new applicants the necessary tools to have an advantage when applying at in the State Government. After that my boss said that he wanted to have a goodbye lunch with some of our colleagues. Oh, and just yesterday I went to the Indiana Department of Transportation and drug tested some of their employees. It was for insurance purposes, checking to see if nicotine was present in their system. The State certified me last week.

Last but not least, next week I will be going to Washington D.C. I told a director that I was visiting the area. She asked me if I wanted to go to the White House and I said “Oh yeah”. I just found out today, she set up a tour and a visit for me. Usually you have to apply for a tour months in advance and go through your congressman. She got me set just two weeks in advance and completed everything for me. They could only hook me up on Thursday so I will have to leave a day early and change my tickets, but it’s worth it. She was very helpful and will make my trip that much more interesting. Initially I was going to travel up to Valparaiso, IN to be the mayor’s guest at a banquet. Today I will be letting him know that I will need a rain check because of the unique opportunity I got. Jon is a very good mayor and leader so I will definitely reschedule.

After all of this, its time to start SCHOOL, oh ya! If you would like to chat with me or hang out to get used to the campus just let me know. You can find me at the admissions desk in the campus center because I am an ambassador. Just leave me a message with Jessica Hybarger if I am not there with your info. Follow Me On Twitter Too. See you around and have a GREAT year!
