From the many posts on Facebook, I am sure you can all tell I am not in Canajoharie anymore for the summer, but I am in Burlington,VT. A new place surrounded by a surplus of people I don't know, and the unknown of city life. The first night was overwhelming, I didn't think I could make it through the summer but somebody needed to "just give me a reason" that I could. I talked to my big sis Hannah Monk, who reassured me that with a positive attitude and enough sleep I could make it through the summer.
And with that, I went to bed.
I just finished my first week at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, a week of orientation and on Friday, I got to meet my boss, a Clarkson Alum I might add! After seeing my cubicle, work computer, mailbox and name tag; reality finally hit; I did it! I landed a summer job in a great company and I was surrounded by great people. All of the other interns are awesome each bringing a wonderful personality and background to the table. Human Resources told us that about 1300 applications were sent in this year with only 24 interns selected, lets just say I patted myself on the back for that one and rewarded myself with a cup of coffee. ;)
This summer is one for self reflection. To get myself into the best shape with my resources (so much outdoor activity in Vermont), to really find out what I want to do after my senior year, and to learn to live own my own.
I have 11 weeks and nothing but motivation!
I would like to thank all my friends and family who reached out to me this week! It really meant a lot!
I'm ready for Summer 2013,
Anybody with me?
