End of July and I’ve survived another DC heatwave. Temps pushed into the 100s with the heat index, today was the first time it went below 85, a welcome change to the humidity and baking walks outside. Its this time of year when I really feel like just camping out inside my apartment and just chilling out. I guess having a car around this time of year would be nice afterall.
The cicadas are back, I swear I saw one walking on the sidewalk, and there are patches of brown leaves on the big trees on my street, along with the telltale familiar singing in the early evening. Maybe some of them missed the 17 year party last year and decided to come out a bit later.
Trying to work out a trip back home before school starts. So far its looking like it’ll work out all right, I’m also juggling my next rotation at work, hopefully both will work out somewhat as planned to give me a good boost into the formal legal profession. have to admit that it’ll be good to go home, chill out and unwind a bit. I’m enjoying the type of work I’m doing now 10 fold but it can be a little intense at times, due to the subject nature, and the ambition levels of the various people I’ve been teaming up with on jobs. I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll be able have it both ways for now, if not then I’ll have some tough decisions down the road.
I think this city can get to you after a while in more ways than one, it’ll be good to have a chance to stretch out the roots a bit whatever that may entail. for me I think its really just the sense of place and a simple existence that does the trick.
