Moving to Boston

Accepting an internship at an engineering firm after my freshman year at college was a very hard decision to make but no matter what I told myself I couldn’t turn down the adventure. Coming to Boston I knew one other kid from college, but didn’t know him well. So with my eyes closed, and leaving behind the small town I’ve grown to love in Iowa, I accepted the job offer and moved to Boston.
After two weeks of working and living in an apartment with three other guys I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The work I’m being given is very meaningful and is directed towards the environmental side of engineering.
Since I have gotten to Boston, I’ve wanted to go backpacking on the Appalachian Trail. The Trail I will be hiking in the next couple of weeks runs along the western edge of Massachusetts. I figure if I leave Friday after work, sleep in the car by the trail that night, I can get up early and get a good start the next morning. I don’t plan on hiking the whole length of the state, because I have to make the return trip to my car. It should be fun spending some nights under the starts.
In about two more weeks I’m heading home to be the best man in my brother’s wedding. It will be good to get back home for a week and see my family and friends.
