A Day in DC

6. November 2008 by Sarah.

The Capital was dead today, it was not busy with all the hussel and bussel that I had expected. This morning I got up and survived and two and half hour bus ride into DC. After getting dropped off at the National Gallery of Art I head to the House of Representatives Office building to have a tour of the Capital with a staff member of Congressmen McCarthy’s.

The tour was very interesting, I learned a lot and had a slight inkling to want to work in politics, but alas, it is gone. I thought that it would be a busy place, but it was so quite. Many of the legislative assistants weren’t back yet from campaigning. Guess that is how your life is when in politics. That inkling is coming back…

After that I headed off to grab some Starbucks (after using my iKiley to find the nearest Starbucks) then walked over to the National Art Gallery to look at some art and do a little shopping before I got back on the bus.

Then it was time for a bond fire, the Freshman Fall Fire to be exact. No, we did not burn the freshman we, as in STARs, just provided the bond fire and some hot coco and cookies. Now I have had a bath and need to go to bed, for tomorrow is Thursday and I have to do laundry, go to class, and then get some homework done.
