I think it hit me as I was enjoying the luxury and comfort of my Midwest Airlines flight. I could see the White House and the Washington Monument out of my window. The landing gear had properly descended from the plane, and it hit me. I had the pleasure of spending the summer working in the US Capital, home to so many great and interesting things. I plan to explore many of them, by the way.

After landing, getting my luggage and waiting over an hour for my ride (thanks Keri), I was in the city. She took the streets because the freeway was packed, but I didn’t mind because I loved the scenic root of the city with all the beautiful brick buildings and busy people. Although this is not my first in the city, I always find something new to enjoy.

I am really looking forward to my experience as a political intern and writing about it here. I’m working with Center for Progressive Leaders, Progressive Majority and Campus Progress. What a load! My calendar is filling fast, and I’m happy because I’ll have plenty to write about.

Oh yeah, about me:

California Native, cultural critic, sociologist, college graduate looking into graduate schools, loves food, music, movies, poetry and fun.
