Washington D.C Intern

So, it is official. Yesterday began my check-in and internship experience. My best friend Suzanne and I drove from Boston to D.C - a total of 8 hours. We left Boston at around 10pm and pretty much drove straight through. (I recommend driving in the early hours of the morning, especially when you are going through New York City). We arrived at 6:45 am...roughly 3 hours before check in began. So we literally slept in the car in front of the building until it opened. Needless to say, I was the first person to check in, which means I got first dibs! Awesome! The apartments are amazing by the way!

Today marked the first day of my program orientation. I woke up around 8:30 and started the day off in the Word! Then, I decided to set up this blog. I want to share as much of my experience as possible. There are a lot of things that I cannot include in the blog about where I am interning, nor the work that I will be doing - its all confidential (which is awesome!!!). However, I am still going to include everything that I can. Including all the random moments, and advice that I have learned and want to share regarding interning and life in general.

Each summer, roughly 20,000 students flock to the nations capital in order to intern for a number of Non-Profits and Federal Agencies. One of my roommates is interning at the Library of Congress, and the other is interning for a Non-Profit T.A.S.S.C (Torture Abolition Survivors Support Coalition) which is pretty self-explanatory. Another girl is interning for the president of the NRA, crazy!

This is going to be a wild and exciting journey. I look forward to taking advantage of everything our Nations Capital has to offer. Even though I have barely enough money for groceries and will probably be living on Ramen noodles and tap water, I am SO excited for this amazing gift.

He is so good.
