So for those who don't know, I've had the (mis)fortune of having been at the same school as Karis since Kindergarten, and she's been ordering me around ever since. So once I read her post wondering about my summer, of course I decided to happily oblige and compose a post myself.
It is 9:20 am, and I've been at work for two hours already, yet accomplishing nothing. I'm interning at Northrop Grumman this summer doing some business management stuff, but my boss has been working on a bunch of classified projects, leaving me to digg, cnn, and facebook. Though boring, I relish in the fact that I get paid for things such as posting to this blog. I'll also take this opportunity to thank you for paying your taxes, as the lovely government is the prime client of Northrop.
Overall, this summer has been going along very smoothly. Nothing too chaotic at all, and my schedule basically revolves around work. I'm able to enjoy weeknights with family and hang out with high school friends on the weekends. Unfortunately, life in Southern California is a bit less exotic than Nicaragua, and the most exciting thing that's happened to me in the past few weeks is probably learning that the Dodgers picked up Manny Ramirez. Still, I'm really cherishing this time to let me slow down and relax before stuff picks up in a couple of months.
I definitely miss many aspects of Stanford, and I can't wait to be involved with IV again, meet new dormmates, and have a college-life sleeping schedule. At the same time, I'm not quite ready to relinquish the bliss of having a mostly stress-less summer, which has given me the opportunity to catch up on some reading (Strongly recommend Blue Like Jazz).
Alright that's it for now, I suppose. Will post more later when I come up with something interesting to blog about :)
God Bless,
Andrew
P.S. Go Lakers! (take that Karis!)
