Entry #2
For those interested in the whole steve kurtz thing here is an article from today's washington post on it:
Thought I would pass that along.
Today was my second day at my intership. It is with the Office of Management and Budget Communications office. For those who have lives and don't know what that is, it is part of the White House that decides how much money the President wants to spend on things, like the war in Iraq, and the communications office does all the media stuff for it.
The day went pretty well but it got kind of boring. I swear I must have read the entire washington post and all of the headlined stories at cnn.com. I would rather check my email or go on nonnews sites, but as: I am on company time, my computer is in the middle of the office where everyone can see what I am doing, and it is my first week on the job, I decided that I better stick to reading news as that is passable for work. I have pretty crazy hours. There is another intern so we work in two 6:30 shifts. The first is from 6:30 am to 1 and the second is from 1 to 7:30 pm. We switch each week as to what shift we get. Because it is my first week and I don't have my ID yet, I get the second. I don't think I will mind the first that much because I am use to getting up pretty early. The only part that sucks is I have to walk 2 miles to the Metro station because there are no buses or shuttles that run that early. Oh well, the walking couldn't hurt me.
I hope this entry isn't really boring. I don't know I am new at this. Hopefully, it isn't too bad. Feel free to email me with comments, questions, advice, death threats, etc.
Stay out of Trouble.

I broke down and joined
So I guess I have joined the crazy world of online journals. As I obsessively read my friends journals on the site, I guess it is about time. To introduce myself, I am the one pretty in pink in the pic (which I stole from jill's journal). I am a product of KW but am currently in DC at American University. Ummm, that is enough for now. Hopefully, I will update it regularly so people can stalk me as much as I stalk them. I will write more soon. Bye
