Waxing Nostalgia

Well, my new position title at Municipal Affairs will officially be 'Municipal Analyst.' WooOOOooo. Fancy sounding.

Anyway, I am now officially in my last week of my internship and I find myself very nostalgic. All the things I've done! All the people I met! All the things I learned! What's a girl to do with all this information collected and stored away?

This is a pretty exciting time for me as I get settled in the next few months into what will eventually be a permanent position. New places to tackle. New people to meet, things to learn, blah blah blah. But I'm a little sad still.

This past year has been really good to me. A little dramatic at times, but my life is finally taking shape as a whole. I'm on my own, a complete adult with a career, apartment, car and student loan payments of my own. I've been finding new people to care about me and appreciating the ones who have been doing so for a long time. I've learned amazing things about myself and have realized that I have a tremendously strong faith in myself and those around me. It's almost like with the ending of this internship, it ends one of the most eventful and defining years in my life to date. And who would want that to end, really?

I spent all day today putting together a presentation for council on what I've been doing for the past 12 months. It's crazy! I'm telling them the tip of the iceberg and it's probably going to take 15 minutes straight of me talking.

I'll move onwards and upwards and cleave to the line, but this year is one for the record books.

P.S. I'm also putting the Community Economic Development Plan that I reviewed in front of Council for acceptance tonight. I may be put through the ringer, so wish me luck!
