This weekend several interns made our way down to Georgetown. We walked around in the downtown, checking out the shops, bookstores, and nearby neighborhoods. We ended up wandering around Georgetown until dinner, eating at a restaurant along the main street. It was a pleasant day trip.

I know that I mentioned this last week, but I cannot believe that I only have one more month in DC. This internship has really gone by so quickly and I will soon be leaving DC (although I will be happy to leave the humidity behind because it is the absolute worst thing about DC).

This week I discovered Georgetown. I heard so much about how cute the neighborhood is and had to go see for myself. Connor, Max, Katie (my roommate), Brean, Brean’s friend from school, and I went there over the weekend in pursuit of thrift shops and cupcakes.

I don’t know why it took me until one of my last weekends here to make it down to the DuPont Circle farmers’ market, but better late than never, right? I took a stroll down to 20th street on Sunday and was greeted by stands and stands of fresh fruits and vegetables and cheeses.

Monday morning I took a break from project MOSFET to talk to do some career exploration. This internship has been immensely valuable in that it has helped me identify what I don’t want to do, and given me the opportunity to meet others in areas that are more interesting to me. My proje
