Category: Intern in DC

I went to the library of Congress for research today. The LOC is actually three different building. I went to the John Adams Building and conduct about two hours of research on medical history and devices.

I got a lot of information that I will need to sort out in the coming weeks, lots of references and citations. However, I got a free meal out of the deal, as I was able to save enough $ from the amount given to me for photocopy purchases. I bought pizza, flavored water and, of course, an apple.

I was also surprised today as I have a roommate. His name is Felix and he is from…Canada…the French part. And yes…its a lot of “eh” and “oh”. He is also an intern but at the Canadian embassy doing Transportation policy. He is apparently finishing up his Masters.

Additionally, I sent out two more job applications. One for Marietta Schools in GA and another for an Admin Assistant for a local county historical museum. Even better, I got calls yesterday and today about Job interviews at Frederick County (that’s winchester) and Anthony Wayne HS. I have an interview with Frederick County next week and I am sure I will be heading back to Pburg for an interview.

Go me!

Also, Congrats Gillian on getting the job!! 🙂 Maybe you could use the money to buy a new car. 😛

Good News:
Gillian got home safe and I got home safe from last night.
Great News:
I got called today by two school districts (Frederick County, which encompasses Winchester and Anthony Wayne School district) and I will have to call them back to begin the interview process.

I spent a fanastic weekend with Gillian. We laughed, we cried and we damn near died (on several levels). It was great seeing her again after a two week interlude. I hope she is able to come down again. I took her to have, for the first time, ethopian food, and she liked it. We went to this place called Das Ethiopian Cuisine (originally called Zeds) and the meal was great! If you ever come down to DC this summer…I will take you there. We also, for breakfast today went Park Place Gourmet (everything in DC seems to be “gourmet). Park Place is a “breakfast buffet”, basically a buffet with food.
Needless to say…the whole time with her was one big (mis?)adventure. 🙂

I also got my car paid for and a parking spot and my internet hooked up…and yes I even have coveted cable tv for once! I have a car on campus, which means, I can take trips outside of the Washington DC area. I am hopeful that I will get to go to Baltimore, as it is less than an hour drive away.

To get an idea find Foggy Bottom-GWU (Follow the Orange line)...I am 1 minute away from that Metro Stop

Or this Map may help too:

Find H street and find the Hippo...I am diagnally top left from the hippo...living in Crawford.

So if you ever come down to visit you know sorta where I am, however, it would be BEST if you do not bring a car down...rather take a bus,plane or train in.
