the beginning of spring.






pictures (favorite building in dc, the eisenhower executive office building and arlington)


so it is very strange to think that in a month i'll be back in nashville/athens and no longer living and working in this city.  i have grown to love dc and i can't wait to get back up here.  i'm still looking around at internships but finally got a response from one and interviewed on friday.  everyone pray that the interview was a success and i get a call back! i'm excited about springtime and hope the nice weather stays around for a while.  last weekend we went to arlington cemetery and got a great insider's look into the old guard (the soldiers that do ceremonial things at the white house, etc., funerals at arlington, and the guarding of the tomb of the unknown soldier).  it was a very special trip and we got lots of special treatment including a briefing from the lt. col now in charge and the arlington historian.  as time winds down i'm feeling the pressure of class and research papers that have yet to take form but am trying to continue to enjoy everything and get some last minute sight seeing/weekend excursions in.  this week (fingers crossed) i'm actually going on a dome tour of the capitol.  only congressman/woman can give this tour so it's been a struggle to get our member's schedule to open up so we could go but i think this time we're actually gonna do it! lots of pictures will ensue and i'm excited to get to go out on the top of the actual dome...crazy.  i love you all and can't wait to see many of you when i get back!
