It is weird finally being home. Now that TWC is over, there are so many things that I wished I did in DC, such as go to the Spy Museum and the Newseum. I definitely took my time there for granted and put off doing a lot of things thinking that I could do them “next week.” As nice as it is being home, I wish I could have spent a few more weeks in the city. I am going to miss being able to take the Metro everywhere and the city atmosphere. It is much more exciting than the small town I am from.

Before I left DC, I promised my friends back home that I would bring them all Krispy Kreme donuts since the closest one to us is over an hour away. So, on the Friday afternoon before we left I picked up a dozen assorted donuts. Somehow, I was able to carry all the donuts, 75 pounds of luggage, a laptop, a backpack, and a purse all the way from the RAF to my house back in Massachusetts without squishing one donut. When I got home, I quickly threw the donuts on the counter and went to get the rest of my luggage. When I got back inside, my dog was enjoying eight of the donuts I just worked so hard to bring back!

I hope that all of you new, incoming TWC interns enjoy your time in the city!
