the dc adventures continue. this week i visited a friend at GW and we grabbed dinner at an awesome burger place. first time in my life i had lettuce, tomato, onion on a (chicken) burger! (it’s the small accomplishments that excite me)
then we went back to his apartment to hang and drink some brews. decided to play 1 v 1 BP continuously until i won a game…note to boys: don’t ever agree to play bp against a girl until she wins…it will take a minimum of 12 games.
that’s me getting shut out and my friend Amish laughing at me on the floor…..
and no, i didn’t do the naked lap….
MOVING ON TO THE WEEKEND
Friday everyone on the trip went to tour the Supreme Court (couldn’t take pics, but i got to sit in the actual courtroom they argue in)
Then we went on to the Capitol. First time there for me, and boy did I fall in love with that building very quickly. we got to chat with two Chief of Staffs - the highest job on a congressman’s staff. i officially have made that job my dream by age 28 (random number i just came up with…but you get my point). to have the administrative responsibility of overseeing the entire staff and giving legislative advice to a congressman sounds like the best of both worlds to me and is something that i could absolutely see myself doing.
FRIDAY NIGHT MADNESS - i really don’t want this trip to end. i’ve got 6 days left…ive grown to love and respect every person i’ve met on this trip. everyone here is so much fun to be around, make me laugh harder than i ever have in my life, and really just resonate so highly with me. we all bring something different to the table, and i don’t just mean different types of vodka every night. but damn, what good people i’ve gotten to know. i love having the loudest, wildest, flo rida filled pregames in the house with them and then drunkenly traveling the metro or stumbling over to our fav bar Tune Inn. then coming home and eating a disgusting amount of food and watching the same people pass out on the couches. to then wake up in the morning feeling shittay, starving for some good (expensive) food nearby, and laughing histerically at the pictures and few memories we have from the night before.
oh, and then i woke up this morning thinking i left one contact in my eye - to pick and poke at my eyeball ALL DAY, then finally go to an eye doctor for him to tell me that there’s nothing in my eye and that i irritated it all day. JUST my lUckkKkKk
what i want is what i’ve not got, and what i need is all around me - DMB
