I have been behind on my blogging, and I figured I should write a longer one and get my followers up to speed.
Last week, I finished up research for Greg, our environmental engineer. I read some journals pertaining to various types of fuel, and different ways people can power their homes.
For the Presidential Lecture Series (PLS) through TWC, we were supposed to have a congressmen come and speak to us about the current state of the economy. Unfortunately, he was not able to attend the lecture.
For the remainder of the week I worked on some more research for Ben, and continued the on-going development of our website. I focused on the states of Colorado and Illinois.
On Thursday, Greg called me for some weather related research. I was to find the average
monthly temperature for each month from 1971-2000 for each state…. Phew…
With some help from my friend, Jon Jennings, I was able to get it done. It only took 4 hours of inputting data.
Friday, while everyone was sleeping in, I volunteered to attend a meeting downtown with Ben. It was long, but it was very informative…
One of my fraternity brothers came down for the weekend and it was nice to go to Adams Morgan with him and his girlfriend to have a few refreshments. I didn’t stay and watch the fireworks. I didn’t feel like putting up with the push and shove of tourists, the Metro and drunk people. I traveled home and watched the fireworks from my couch (in air conditioning) and caught up on some much needed rest.
Today, I was on a boat traveling the Anacostia River. It was fun and we learned about watersheds. I was not the king of the world though…
I would like to mention that Jessica C., a friend whom I met when I was at the Democratic National Convention, read all of my blogs today. Whatever she does for a living, I want that job. While in Denver, Jessica invited me to various after event parties. Not only is she nice, she is very attractive for a Democrat.
