CeeDee World

I skipped the blog last week as there was not much worth reporting, although I did have the chance to watch Moulin Rouge at the Kennedy Center. The building itself is amazing.  This past week, I was sent to Kent, Washington, for a work-together week at Blue's headquarters. The weather there reminded me of the UK, and in many ways, it felt like being in a warm blanket to be back in a jumper daily. While I can't share what I was working on, it was so cool to be around a production floor again and see some really impressive engineering. I was able to meet with several folks and have some really good conversations while I was there too, I even ran into an old York coworker who works at Blue in Denver now - was so nice to catch up! I flew back on the first flight out of Seattle on Friday and when I hit DC, I met up with Jessica! She came to DC for the weekend to go to a Jonas Brothers concert! While we were sitting at dinner, we decided to be a smidge spontaneous and buy cheap ticke

I was packing up and moving across the pond to Cambridge this time last year. This year, I only headed to the East Coast. Tuesday marked the beginning of my internship with Blue Origin. Over the next three and a half months, I have the opportunity to work with the strategy team and learn more about the business side of the aerospace industry. This is totally uncharted territory for me, so I'm a healthy mixture of nervous and excited to see how it all plays out. Everyone I've met so far has been lovely and I look forward to working with them more during the internship! The real highlight of this week came on Friday. I went to see Rebecca and Cody for the weekend in NYC! As I was about to hop on the metro to DCA, I found out my flight was canceled. But thanks to the speedy work of Rebecca, I was able to get on a train an hour later and make my way up the East Coast. Rebecca and Mike were kind enough to pick me up from Penn Station and drop me off in Brooklyn at Cody's.   Satu

They told us that this year would change us... I don't feel changed. Everywhere I look around me though I see change. Friends have married, moved, had children, and started new jobs. Heck, even the Houston Museum of Natural Science looks different. When folks have asked me how it feels to be back I have said it feels like putting on a pair of jeans you haven't worn in a long time. Everything still fits, but it feels a little tight and uncomfortable. So, does that mean that I have changed? I've spent a lot of time during these days at home reflecting on the past year and what it has meant to me. In so many ways, it doesn't feel over. I am convinced I will fly back to the UK sooner than I actually am.
