they really weren’t lying when they said it rains a lot in seattle – when i woke up this morning, sure enough, it was raining. julia and i decided to go do some shopping so we walked about a mile to a nearby shopping center and went to fred meyer (the local one-stop shop).
there’s something very refreshing about the air right after it rains and our walk was actually very nice! there’s lots of trees and everything around us just seemed so refreshing! the weather is definitely much cooler than georgia (we wore jeans and hoodies) but this is the most comfortable temperature in my opinion.
we found out that another intern had a car, so him and his roommate ended up driving us around and we went to a target and a few other stores to buy groceries and shop for bikes. i think i’m an expert on all the different types of bikes now because i’ve probably looked at over 50 different bikes today. we will probably come back and get one in the next day or two.
we were really tired after we came back so made a really simple dinner – mac and cheese and chicken noodle soup.
i also realized that my roommate and i had tons in common! we both do ballet (though she dance profesionally during her gap year so she’s actually really good) and we both like to draw/paint! i’m hoping to get some paints or something and maybe we can paint in our spare time this summer!
