After being in San Francisco for five days now, I am beginning to feel more comfortable with the city. The biggest adjustment is the weather. Before I left New Jersey, the weather was always a sunny and hot 90-degrees! The fog and wind are unique to this part of the country, but it’s very different from what I’m used to.
Besides the weather, the city is gorgeous! I love the architecture, scenery, atmosphere, restaurants, museums, and so much more! Most of all, I love the attitude of the people here. Everyone is so immersed in the culture here. People are very outdoorsy; I constantly see people running, riding bikes, rollerblading, walking dogs, sailing, etc. San Francisco inhabitants are also very liberal and care for the environment. There are always landfill, recycling, andcompost bins everywhere. Farmers Markets take place multiple times a week to support local farms. I believe that San Francisco sets a great example for how the rest of the country should be!
Work is great so far. I like working for a non-profit organization. Even though money is tight right now, we are using the resources we have well and are working with what we have. Since I have only been working for a few days, I’m getting situated in the office by finding grants Sea Scavenger will be a good fit for, designing an updated website, and researching the production process of plastic and present/future technologies for recycling. I will continue with these projects over the next ten weeks of my internship.
