End of Summer!

Tomorrow is my last day in this internship, and I am very pleased with how the summer went.

A few highlights!

1) Holly and I had a great first anniversary. We visited Quartz Mountain State Park in southeastern Oklahoma, and finally got to relax for a bit from all of the crazy travel that our two jobs have required.

2) As of tomorrow, my internship will be finished! It was a great summer filled with learning, field experience, and time spent planning actual projects that had an actual impact on my company's bottom line.

3) I started playing bass guitar in June, and will be playing with the worship band at my church this fall. I really enjoy the bass, and it is definitely the instrument for me. I've mostly been practicing by playing along with hymns and learning to feel the chord changes, which is a new direction for me, but very helpful.

4) I've spent a lot of time thinking about organization and productivity, and feel really motivated to clean the clutter out of our campus apartment! Holly is definitely on-board with this goal, and I'm looking forward to seeing what our apartment looks like with the unnecessary stuff all gone.

5) I'm sad about friends leaving for different cities and grad schools, but it will be good to keep in touch and to meet up again whenever they return to Tulsa. I know that people moving away is a part of life, but I still wish we didn't have to.
