I had a completely different post planned; but, this song came on got me thinking. (Not as rare an event as you might think). If you aren't familiar with the song, it's about someone who decides to move to Boston to start over. Moving from California to Boston, where "no one knows my name."

Since today is the first day of Lent I thought I should post about what I going to do during this time. When I was young (until 8th grade probably) we had to give something up.

My second day is Thursday and I'll be going to a House of Representative's Global Health committee meeting, with the head of my office ( Read more... )

So I had this moment today...I was sitting by the Potomac River, studying for econ, out in the sun, and it finally sunk in that I'm in DC. It was all of a sudden I was just like "i can't believe I live here." Then I went walking around downtown (I have an interview tomorrow and wanted to see where this place was) and I was passing all these ( Read more... )
