In Washington, for a week.

I flew here to Washington, DC to be on campus for a week. It has been a while since I'm here and now, and now I'm back to my old, established life style here. I'm getting to finally sit in my office and work straight at my computer - no need to remote-connect to work! Also, I've been meeting my friends and having a great time. My schedule is pretty packed and full.... too much to do and too little time. Lunches and dinners, meetings and greeting, and those "hey-we-are-glad-you-are-back" shout-outs I hear from people.

In a way, it is great to be back here in Washington. After all, I have lived here for more than three years and I enjoyed things here a lot. I love the life here; It is filled with events, get-togethers, or taking walks at night near the monuments, or going to the museums. In another way, I have to move back again, pack stuff and just drop all my friends and life there in Iowa and come back here. It is the exact opposite of what I went through when I was moving to Iowa - a kind of feeling that I'm leaving home and going back to a placed I called home earlier. In any case I think too much of moving is not fun at all : )

But I'm glad I have these opportunities to be flexible in terms of work. If I will be moving back, I will be glad to be back here, but will definitely miss what is by now my established life in Iowa. And of course, I will miss those parties too! : )

In any case, I will keep you posted for sure!
