In slightly related news, tomorrow, I'm going to a networking happy hour event with PRSA members in the Pittsburgh area. Hopefully, it will help me make some connections and at least get some advice and ideas. I just really need something where I feel like I'm doing something with my life. A lot of times, when I see what other people are doing, I feel like I'm just sitting by, watching life and time pass without me. I know that I've got a lot more in me than what I'm doing. I just need to find the job and the employer who can see that too, and I really hope that it comes along soon.
Well. I made it back from Washington in one piece. Had a minor mishap with my car and a pole in a parking garage, but overall had an excellent time. I did almost everything that I wanted to and saw everyone that I wanted to. I took some back roads and Interstate 68 through Maryland to get there and it was a beautiful drive. Once I got to the city, it was almost as though I never left. I missed everything about Washington! The Metro, the sights, the people, the places... It was kind of an emotional roller coaster from my anticipation of everything, to being really, genuinely happy in the time that I had with those friends, and then having a return to reality when I remembered that we didn't actually live there anymore and it wasn't the same. We all had to go back to work and class and our own homes this week, separately. It was hard to get a little glimpse of what my life could be, and what I wish it was, and then have to leave and come back, where I'm content for now, but still waiting for that thing that will make me happy. The drive back yesterday offered a lot of time for soul searching, and I thought a lot about what I'm missing in my life, and what I want out of being in Pittsburgh. It just made me even more driven to work toward getting that PR job that will start me in the right direction to get to DC sometime sooner than later!
