Wow; on Friday, I got to go to the Library of Congress, and I don't mean looking at all the pretty gold and frescos of the Main Hall - I mean IN the Library of Congress - walking around, touching books, being a scholar. This was an amazing experience, and I hope to go back before my time in Washington is over.
Other exciting news - I'm going to New York! I've never been to The City, and I plan on doing all the touristy things offered to me. You bet - I'm going to be that annoying Asian snapping photos or the ugly Americans buying silly New York snow globes - oh, it's on. I feel very lucking in that I have personal New York tour guides - Jenn, Katerina, and Peter, friends from Stanford. We're only going to have about one full day to explore The City, but who knows, the future may bring me back to New York; I'm still only newly 18.
Also... yesterday i got to have lunch with Congressman Sam Farr in the member's Dining room with the other interns - how cool is that? Wow - I could only imagine how many important, famous policymakers had sat in the very seat where I was having lunch. That will definitely be an experience I will not forget! Sam is really nice, and the whole lunch conversation was aimed at him wanting to know about us; of course he threw a few tidbits about himself, but I like how he is not self-centered even though he has a staff of 14 and an even larger entourage... That's really cool; all Representatives should be like that. :)
