Guess who's employed?

This is the first summer that I haven't worked since I was 17 and it feels really strange. I always like keeping busy and since I've been back from D.C. I feel this void where I would be doing something more productive with my life. I realized though that it is okay to take a break and time for yourself is always important. After weeks of searching, I'm really excited to say that I have a summer job now! Even though it technically is the end of summer. I am going to be a part of the a grand opening of a new REI store near my house. It is retail, but there are so many beautiful growing opportunities in this company of outdoor recreation. My first training is in a few weeks so i'm excited to share it with you. 

NatGeoIntern

I honestly can't believe I'm interning for National Geographic. This is one of the best things to ever happen to me and I am so grateful to even be chosen to be a part of the geography intern program here. My first day here has been pretty epic. I mean i'm interning for my dream employer. We did some paperwork for HR and then split up to meet our individual supervisors. There are seven of us interns for the program so its a good sized group. My supervisors name is David and he's really nice. He's kind of local to the area, he likes Game of Thrones, which is awesome, and he seems like he's going to be really nice. He took me to this restaurant called Nage and we had nice conversation about the normal introductions about where i'm from and what do I like to do and what made me want to apply for NatGeo. I had an amazing lobster mac and cheese, which was a plus. I got my first assignment doing a background check on a company that was pretty interesting. Time went by pretty quick. Then the other interns and I went to Barcode and celebrated. It was a great first day.
