Springtime on the hill...

Its nearly 9am on what is the closest to a "spring morning" that we have had so far up on the mountain. There is a man in a cherry-picker lifted up to the roof spraying the building with a power washer (I don't know why and I am not sure knowing will effect the story :P ). Its April Fools Day - I should trick you but I am I too tired. I always spend the first hour of opening shifts in a haze waiting for my brain to clock in.

I have recieved word back from the Atlantic Council of the US about my internship application, I have made it through the opening act. I am excited because they are prestigious, less excited that the internship is unpaid, and disapointed that I probably won't be able to do it because it is in DC - but we will see what future communication brings. The next fortnight should bear the fruit of my other applications. Cross your fingers for a Policy and Planning Specialist Internship with VDOT (three times the wage I am making now).

This summer, on the weekends of course, I just want to ride rollercoasters, lay on the rocks in the river, and relax. Soak up as much of the culture I grew up with as I can before heading back down south.

Some views of Richmond for your enjoyment ...
