What day is this???
Hey guys! I know I didn't post yesterday -- sorry about that, the timing just didn't work out. I was working until about 7:30 and had to come back and clean my room and take a shower and we aren't allowed to get on the computers after 10. Which is incredibly stupid. Seriously, this whole dorm life thing is really getting me down. It's very high intensity and...teenager-y.
Yesterday was really really boring. I was doing runs all day and because there are so many of this, a vast majority of my time was spent sitting edge of the floor wishing I could go back to sleep. The highlight of my day yesterday was definitely finding out that my parents are coming to visit me next week! How amazing is that?!?!?! I am sooooo incredibly excited. I've talked to the Dem. Page sponsor and she's going to let me do flags next Friday so I'll be off early and can go out with my parents. And then I'll stay with them Friday-Sunday (real showers!!!!) and then I only have a week left. I think I can make it.
I don't want anyone to think I'm not enjoying myself. I was talking to one of my friends here and I said that this would be a perfect 3 week job if only it were in St. Louis and I were living in my own house, with my own family. I've had some really cool opportunities though. Working on the Floor doing statements on..Tuesday? I think Tuesday. That was great. And I've seen Russ everyday that I've been here and had to opportunity to help his office out. And today was particularly awesome at lunch. The Congressman who took Tom DeLay's seat couldn't find a place to eat lunch in the Longworth cafeteria because it gets absolutely PACKED asked Jessie and I if he could eat with us. So he sat down and talked with us and was really nice and very very cool. He said that it's looking like his next race is going to be extremely rough and talked about that and it was extremely cool.
I don't have many other stories from today or yesterday... I've been doing runs both days and it's been quite boring. I miss home sooooo sooooo much. It's kind of excruciating how much I do. I'm no longer looking forward to moving into the dorms for college (not that I was all that excited about it in the first place....). Instead, I think I will just live with my parents forever.
That's all for now. See you everybody!!
And again, it's just missing home and the dorm stuff that's not fun. Other than that, it really is quite awesome up here!!!
