One of the difficult things about being in DC was being away from family and friends. Of course, thanks to technology we could now Skype and it made it a little more manageable in terms of "seeing" each other. However, I would have to say it was a little tough for me because of the time difference. I was always 3 hours ahead of my girlfriend in California and I had to sometimes endure tough workdays with little sleep the night before. I wouldn't normally consider myself a big coffee drinker but I became one while in DC, and would frequent the local Starbucks regularly. Another big thing that I had to maneuver around was the fact that DC or Maryland did not have a Chase bank! I could not make deposits or get cash without paying a fee to use an ATM. Since I knew I would only be there for a few months, I decided to just use the cash back option from local stores when I needed cash.
This blog will cover my internship experience with the U.S. Department of Commerce.
