Well, I kind knew this would happen. . . I'd get busy and not post a blog update for 3 weeks or something. And that's exactly what's happened. Anyway, for those of you who really want to talk and find out everything I'm doing, e-mails, and facebook messages get higher priority responses. I'll try to respond to hand-written letters on the same day I receive them.
My parents came to visit on the week of Feb. 21, which was a very welcome occasion. I took them to many of the places I'd already visited, and enjoyed a couple of new places, like Pizzeria Uno inside of Union Station. I also got to check out the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, which for a kid who briefly wanted to be an astronaut is fascinating.
School work took up a great deal of time over the next two weeks with a midterm on the 28th and a paper due on the 7th. Work has been pretty much the same. I've gotten to give some fun tours, and I've stayed busy with the budget debates. I feel like I've become much better informed, as I've been dealing with a great variety of issues from a wide variety of people.
Our program has done a number of really fun things over the past few weeks, including tours of the White House and Pentagon. No pictures will come of these though--photography is prohibited in both of those locations. A wonderful UGA alum also hosted us for lunch at National Geographic, and we got to meet the creator of "crittercam."
I'll have to admit, I haven't done too much more that's incredibly interesting--mainly due to the fact that everyone has become busier with work and classwork. I'll try to do a little bit better keeping everyone informed of what's interesting in DC. Expect either posts to be less frequent, shorter, or both compared to how things started. And again, if you want more detail, feel free to message or write. Hope all of my UGA friends have a great spring break this week!
