I apologize for not having blogged in a while, but things have gotten very busy! At the end of October I travelled to Indianapolis for the weekend to attend a fraternity board meeting for Lambda Chi Alpha. There, I was elected as chairman of the Student Advisory Committee. Politically, things remain very interesting here on the Hill with the less-than-smooth rollout of Obamacare. If there ever has been a time to be interning in the Capitol, this would be it. It is very cool being here during a time that (for better or worse) will be written about in the history books.
A few weeks ago, my classmates and I took a trip to the home of Thomas Jefferson: Monticello. The trip proved to be very educational and the scenery was amazing. I have yet to visit the Smithsonian museums, so I still have plenty to see in the city!
With only a few short weeks left in DC, I am going to have to budget my time very carefully so I can still see all the things I want to see while finishing all the schoolwork that needs to be done. I still have a few books to read and many reports and essays due at the end of the semester. Time has FLOWN by!!
I am all registered for my classes for the spring semester, and while I do enjoy it here in DC I am very much looking forward to getting back to Coe.
