I'm baaaack. Better late than never. Now onto more important matters.
It's always nice when your first week of work ends with a three day weekend. Thank you Dr. King.
And what did I do this weekend, you ask? Well, in light of my resolution to conquer this land of Fort Lauderdale, I began my adventures on Monday. Now before I let you in on my day, let me tell you a few key facts about myself:
I am an intern. I am also technically still a college student. I live with my parents. And no, I do not have a second job.
All of these things add up to one important fact: I am broke.
The other thing is, well, I'm a bit of a procrastinator.
But the good thing in all of this is that if you sound any bit like me, there is still hope for you. Because I had myself a wonderful Monday despite the aforementioned hindrances, which lets you folks out there know there's plenty to do even on the poorest or laziest of days.
That brings me back to Monday. With lack of funds and planning, I went with what I know. When I used to live here, I would spend time just strolling along A1A, stopping at the sand, sun, and surf-inspired kiosks of BeachPlace with my giggling girlfriends. We would wander over to the beach and stroll some more, people watch and take it all in.
Take the same scene and replace the giggling girls with a boyfriend (yes, fellas...I'm taken), and you have my Monday well spent.
But there was something more to this Monday than what I felt in years past. Somehow the sun shined a little brighter, the skies were just a little bluer, and the smell of ocean air had never been so pungent.
I guess you could call it...appreciation.
Looking around, I had to ask myself: "Do I really live here?"
I sure do, and I'm a lucky girl.
The adventure may have been small, but it felt pretty big. And it feels good to be back.
