I always feel better when I write and I know that, but there are often things that get in the way. Not having enough time, feeling like I don't want to post something ridiculous or boring, worrying that I'll be judged, not wanting to be political. Gosh. Who cares?

When I was in school I read constantly, but not always something that was interesting, and hardly ever fiction. Now I can read whatever I want, and there are a million things I want to read, in fact, I was thinking this morning about all of the “content” I wish I had time to consume.

What I said about the internship and my career "explorations" were true, mostly. I mean, I set this thing to private, so technically I could have been writing, but gosh, it has been hard to put my thoughts together in a way that felt ...productive. BOOM!

I missed you....I missed writing...for an imaginary audience. During my internship last year social media was forbidden and since my ultimate goal is to work in politics in some capacity I've been trying to keep a low profile and remain neutral, but a couple of months ago I posted a very non-neutral rant on Facebook, which is a highly unusual thing for me to do, and all http://everyoneissocrazy.blogspot.com/2018/03/hey.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sue )0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422966929675681404.post-345488726056409520Sun, 27 Nov 2016 13:11:00 +00002017-01-02T14:44:55.573-07:00I have papers to write, but why on earth would I let a little thing like the page requirements that rival Moby Dick keep me from blogging?

I believe part of the reason is that I prior to Tuesday evening, although I pretended the election could go either way, in my heart I don't think I ever believed that it would.

By the time school is out my stack is usually pretty tall. I feel a little braggy proud about the amount of reading I was able to get through in 3 short months.

I don't know about you, but I am so worn out from election talk that I can hardly think about it anymore. Or at least I wish I could not think about it anymore. Sadly it is EVERYWHERE.

I can talk to people, small talk or big talk. I'm a talker. I don't want stay at home all the time, in fact, sometimes I LIKE to go out. Introversion is not agoraphobia. BUT, I need to know that there's going to be an end to the work day, the party, or the conversation, and when that end comes, I need to be able to be alone for a while.

I promise. I'm squeezing all the rest of the trip into this post, so you might want to get a snack. Or skip it depending on your tolerance for vacation recaps. On our second day in D.C. we tried to squeeze in as many Smithsonians as possible. We started at the American History Museum, where we were a tiny bit early for their new election exhibit.

We finally made it to D.C. When we got to town we didn't waste any time. We hopped right on the Metro and hurried into the city because we had tickets reserved for the Holocaust museum. I began taking pictures of the Washington Monument the second we landed. I probably took a 100. I'll have to make a collage one of these days.

The fourth day of our trip was Busch Gardens day! So we got up SUPER early and headed out.  On the way we stopped for gas and found the best little store EVER.

I figured we could fly and sleep at the same time. I felt like a trip planning genius for making that decision.

Some have even said this is an important presidential election (although, if you ask me ALL elections are important).
