Back in the saddle again

I am no longer a Grammy intern and I'm blue.

I arrived home last Sunday, a week ahead of schedule. I had completed my hours and my projects were wrapped up and even though I had a phenomenal time in Nashville, I could no longer financially justify staying there.

So, the summer in a nutshell:
- both inernships were a stunning success. Arrived home with fabulous recommendations and job offers upon graduation.
-completed some interesting projects, stuff I never ever imagined doing.
-didn't meet a lot of famous people, but met a lot of very powerful people.
-made some incredible friends. The girls of Nashville are simply the best.
-my roommates: an overall nice lesbian couple who failed to tell just how environmentally strict they were, leaving me to develop a very close relationship with every fruitfly in Tennessee. Is that BO I smell? But yes, a lovely couple who live completely on the fringe and who taught me a thing or two about saving the planet.
- I ran. A LOT. Between the running and the wonderful food my roomates lavished on me, I arrived home with a body that's the strongest it has been in my entire life. Gained 4 pounds, but went down a size.
-You should see my tan. It's a sight.

So now I'm in this limbo time where I'm not in school just yet and my internship is over and I'm just incredibly bored. I can't run because A) after living in a quiet, quaint, hilly neighborhood, coming home to a depressingly urban setting makes running damn near terrifying B) I got too comfy running at sea level and C) It's damn hot. Damn hot. Also, I got pretty used to having a core group of girlfriends available at every turn and being back with Ross is wonderful, but we all need our girls, you know?

Speaking of which, Ross and I are better than ever. 10 weeks away from home having the time of my life could have destroyed our relationship, but he was on my mind constantly. It was hard not to have him around and I wasn't sure I could do it, but I'm glad I did. I think Ross is too, if only because he thinks I will make a ton of money someday ;)

I didn't blog at all over the summer because I had to keep a daily blog for my internship and it would've been a lot to juggle.

Things are getting back to normal, though. I'm walking a lot and have dropped a few pounds even since I've been home (save for this past weekend) and am cutting my carbs a bit to try something new.
