democracy.

so life on the hill continues to go at rapid pace and i'm running to catch up.  networking is the name of the game up here and it seems like everyone we meet up here stresses how important who you know can be.  so i'm working on being awkward and impressing on people that are far more important than me how good of an intern i am and hoping they hire me one day.  i put my networking skills to use today as a childhood neighbor from Virginia came into my office today.....she is now a press secretary on the hill so i thought she'd be the first person to try out my networking skills with.  she has yet to respond.  in other news, pretty soon i'll be cleared to lead tours of the capital so if anyone needs to know that the the original supreme court chamber is intact and lighted the way it was in the late 1800s you know where to go.  the inauguration is upon us and excitement fills the air as millions of people will flock the capitol to catch a glimpse of the change that's come to washington.  in case anyone was wondering, president bush leaves office on tuesday....a frantic caller informed me of that today. thanks for the tip, bud.
