Today I moved home, my internship ended yesterday at 2:00PM when I sent my work to Greg, and gave everyone in the office a hug.

Wednesday evening I spent the night up at College Park visiting my fraternity and hanging out with some of the brothers.

I have to say, that I really enjoyed living and being in Washington these past 10 weeks. I think everyone should do an internship down there, or at least live down here for a period of time. It really puts things into perspective, as far as how things work. Private industry and independent agencies work very hard, while the government departments are so slow, at times it seems as if they are moving backwards.

Again, when I attended the Democratic National Convention, I have to give my respect to the people that helped make my internship enjoyable and a learning experience. I would like to thank the internship center at Cal and Dr. Blumberg for helping me through the process and being my adviser for the second time. Cal U has provided me with many opportunities during my college career.

Bang!

I almost forgot to thank my Democratic consultant for her wisdom and advice, Miss Jessica C.

Coming to an end...

This is my last week of my internship, and it has been a long and short internship. They days were long but it has been a quick nine weeks. Monday was commencement with The Washington Center, that’s right commencement but there wasn’t music and we didn’t have to march across a stage, thank goodness.

Today took a two-hour lunch break, and continued to work on Greg’s big project with weather and other stuff.

We all have to be moved out by Saturday, which means my two roommates and I have to clean. That’s not a problem for the one and I. However, the other one, who lives in the living room with his girlfriend, doesn’t clean and leaves his dirty plates across the apartment. Sweet!

Oh well, my last day is Thursday, and I am only working in the morning. I need to get back to the apartment and start going down the checkout list.
