With my birthday just passing, and yes I can't believe I am 21 years old, where the heck have the years gone? Everyone kept asking me, "Mary what are you doing for your birthday?" Well honestly I always thought you should live everyday as your birthday. Everyday you get older and you should celebrate each day and live it to the fullest. So in order to escape, I went to my safe haven, Potsdam City. I didn't need any big plans for my birthday, just spending time with my friends, enjoying the day off, playing outside and drinking some beers. Sounds like a perfect birthday to me, and you know what it was! I was never one to make my birthday a big deal and it was nice to take it easy for once.
With my internship getting closer to the end all I can say is, wow. I have learned so much this summer. I have learned a plethora of information about coffee, how to be an engineer, how to live on your own, pay bills, and most importantly I have learned a lot about friends. The interns and employees (mainly Judy our work "mom") I have met this summer have taught me a lot about life:
- Don't let your emotions get in the way of things.
- Life is so much easier when you don't care what people think of you and you just be yourself.
- Don't let petty people bring you down because in the end they will never win.
- When you have a batman voice embrace it? (Judy makes me do my batman voice to everyone in the office, for some reason I should be proud of my hidden talent?)
But I am not saying good bye to them yet though they have 3 more weeks with me!! So far I have been a boss at my internship I have acquired 2 cubicles, I'm going straight to the top!
My boss calls me an "Effective Troublemaker". I like it, I think it has a ring to it.
Living everyday like it's my birthday,
Anybody with me?
