Inauguration

The inauguration for Obama was amazing! Yet, the crowds were terrible to maneuver and there was lots of frustrated people around which detracted from the nostalgia of the event. I did have a ticket, but it didn't get me too close to the front (but A LOT closer than any one without a ticket).

This work week, for me was only two days long! I'm so glad that I get to start my weekend and finish up things I've been meaning to do. The last few days I've been feeling pretty pessimistic about my job. I'm not really liking waking up early to walk in 20 degree weather to take a bus to the metro, take the metro about 10 stops. The evening is worse - I hate walking home in the dark! 

I'm excited that my third week is done, but I still have not made it to Charlottesville nor New York, like how I hoped. I can't believe I only have 2/3 left of my time here in Washington :(

I feel like I still have questions in the office, and I'm still in a little bit of the "training" mode. Yet, on the other hand, I feel like a metro lemming getting on the same Orange Line metro to do the same work.... 

I think things will turn up and my outlook will be better once I actually get some sleep! I feel like I've been running on fumes since the Obama gallery opening (VIP), Inaugural Concert, and Inauguration!
