Summer break started less than a month ago, but it’s feeling a bit like summer blues. One more year left and I get to graduate. It hasn’t hit me.
Tried to get an internship, didn’t realize that all the internship applications I was looking at were due the same day as my interview for that one internship… And didn’t get the internship lol. But they seemed interested in having me apply for the fall, so we’ll see! Currently in a volunteer program as a designer, so it’s not like nothing’s happening career wise. Plus I’ve been trying (with some depression hiccups) to study extra skills outside my design program, so I hope to get a bit of a leg up from my peers.
I’ll most likely have two jobs next fall. The second job is basically lined up for me. …Aaand maybe an internship on top of it. I think I’m being ambitious again and uh, we’ll see what happens? (ᵒ ᵕ ᵒ٥)ゞ
Also going to Seattle next week to meet some old friends! I’ve never been there so I’m excited!
The main thing that struck me about Seattle when I first moved there was all the hills. Coming from Phoenix, where there is zero relief unless you’re on one of the sporadic mountains, navigating that kind of terrain required adjustment. My first quarter at UW, a friend took me to a rave off Pioneer Square, and we missed the last bus back to the U-District.
This being before cell phones, let alone Uber/Lyft, that was a long walk home.

I last lived in Seattle in 2000 and suspect I’d not recognize the place now. But the transit options have improved significantly.
There’s definitely a lot of options. The light rail is good, but I’ve mainly been walking to places and getting lots of steps in.
