Depending on my mood, one of my favorite or least favorite parts of the day is the commute to and from work. I'm rarely ambivalent towards the ride, because I am either happy to have the chance to read and listen to music or annoyed that I have to keep reading or listening to music. I finished a couple of books over the summer on my way to internship and am currently in the middle of Slaughterhouse Five, which I thought was going to confuse me but actually is a very engaging story.
Today I did my last commute as an intern. When I come back to the office, I will be a "part time employee." They may even give me my own e-mail address. I'm much more excited about the e-mail address than the getting paid part, which may say something about my priorities. As part of my "last day," a couple of my coworkers took me out to a hibachi place for lunch. I forgot how fun hibachi could be.
The other day I met up again with John McAfee, who I have not seen in a very long time. He had done the lighting for a show at the Capital Fringe Festival- the festival that Usher was in a few years ago. It was a modern day retelling of the myth of Ganymedes (sp?), which, despite my reasonably good knowledge of ancient mythology, I had not heard before. Probably because, in itself, it isn't a terribly interesting myth. The play was good, though.
Currently I am on another train down to Williamsburg and from Williamsburg will be going to North Carolina. The plan is that I will get a new drivers license, but I've got to say that my preferred mode of transportation nowadays is definitely trains.
