• Motorola. What an awesome job. The people rock, the company's totally badass. What more could you ask for? Besides a free phone (hint, hint, MOTO).
• The Interns. I'd have to say I'm going to miss Becki and Vikki the most. They're really great people, sports loyalties aside.
• Portillo's. Who knew a hotdog place could demand a police presence every weekday? It's insanity. Great food, though.

Wellllll... that about covers it.

• The traffic. The roads up here are a lot like prison: they're violent and dirty, full of people who could give a shit if you make it where you need to go, and everybody on them says they're innocent (not of murder; just of being total assholes). The only thing people get pulled over for up here is vehicular manslaughter, and that's only if somebody complains. It's insane.
• The people. I've never felt much like a small-town kid until I got up here. A lot of people (not all, mind you) are jerks. They have something to prove, I guess. I don't really know, but Mike and I talked about how they're all just in a big damn hurry up here.
• Gas prices. Just absolutely ridiculous.
• Spanish. I'm not racist. I just want to walk into a restaurant and not have to repeat my order twelve times. I'm sorry.
• Being a Cardinals/Rams apologist. For the most part, they're consistently better teams. The next time I have to say, "I know the Bears were in the Super Bowl last year, but when was the last time they actually won one?", I am going to lose it. Yeah, the Cubs are doing better than the Cards. Who cares? They'll implode in the postseason, just like always.

It's August 6. Where has the summer gone? I keep saying this to myself when I think about this internship. It's flown by so fast.

So many things have happened this summer. The great, and simultaneously bad, thing about the end of the summer is thinking back on all the things that happened- or should have happened. I took the LSAT, got lost in Chicago, got together and broke up with a girl, missed what I think may have been a great opportunity (I think it was, anyway. Details are still hazy.), saw a fireworks show in someone's back yard that completely outclassed some of the cities' fireworks I've seen, and met some great people. Busy summer.

Friday I'll leave for Disney. Carl, Greg, Eric and I have been planning it forever. I know I'll be excited for the trip, but I know I'm going to miss Motorola and its people.
