Got to work and dealt with materials most the day. It's not really what I want to do for the next year, but it's work, right? I hope that soon I can transition into more of a graphic, space planning, Revit machine! In due time, though...
For lunch, a bunch of the girls at work went to this thai restaurant called Barabas or something close to that. I thought I was playing it safe by getting a sample of a few different things in a "lunch box," but ends up the only things I liked were the eggroll and the teriyaki steak so I didn't eat much lunch. I even packed my lunch today, but decided I didn't want to skip out on getting to know the girls I work with.
Needless to say, my tummy was hurting a bit afterward. I drank some water throughout the day and once I got on the Metro, I seriously thought I was going to throw up. The train was packed, and all I could smell were armpits, the sweat from the runner that just hopped on, and musky heat that had built up from all the bodies. Ew. Thankfully, by the time we got to Crystal City, a lot of the people had gotten off. One man, however, stayed on, and I hoped he would've gotten off sooner. He was sucking on this rock candy on a stick, but the entire thing was in his mouth while he used his fingers to text and all I could hear was SLURP SLURP SLURP sniff sniff SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP SLURP SLURP sniff sniff SLURP...OMG I was gagging. This man was not small, sweating, and really really really obnoxious. I imagined myself hitting the rock candy to the back of his throat and saying, "THAT'S BETTER!!!"
Once I got off the train I felt a bit better. I actually went running, hoping that I would be able to get some fresh air. It was a bit cloudy today, and the heat wasn't overpowering like it has been for the past few days. I ran through the streets to the man who plays on the crystal glasses and stretched a bit while listening to him. I ran back soon after, totaling about 2 miles I think.
aanndd I still have a fat toe. What the heck!
Oh! I almost forgot to tell you: Clarendon was amazing. Absolutely, extravagantly, and utterly amazing. I want to live there. I feel safe, comfortable, and it is so bright and lively there. I have heard numerous people saying how great it is to live there, how it's so safe, and how it's so close to restaurants/bars/Metro, etc. It's also only 2-3 towns away from work, so the commute would be short. I really hope I can find somewhere there. I had my heart set on Falls Church, but I have been looking and most of what I have found are basement efficiencies. I don't want to live in someone's basement. Especially since I will have family visitors, etc. Kate, who I work with, has given me the name of the man who helped her find her current place, so I'm going to contact him soon. (Wow that sentence was wordy.)
Wish me luck!!
