Awesome Photo Op

The Washington Center totally thrilled me by having as a speaker Mr. Kevin Klose, the President of NPR. Some of the schools were in a big group shot with him, but I ran right up there and got my picture with him all on my own :) Awesome!

Running with Talk Radio News is awesome. Just yesterday, another TWC intern, Evan, texted me. He's also at TRNS, and the text was telling me that there was some sort of gathering on the steps of Capitol Hill. I was sitting in the office, typing up something, but I grabbed my camera and trotted two blocks down to the Capitol to see what was going on.

It was actually a rather big deal, and Evan was already there, with his recording equipment plugged into the speaker box so that it could be put up on TRNS' website later. I had a little videa camera and stood there taping the speaker, I mean SPEAKER, since it was Nancy Pelosi. There was also Patrick Kennedy and Mrs. Jimmy Carter. Evan ran up and shook her hand, and then I stood two feet from Kennedy and recorded him answering questions from reporters. Cool.

The weather down here is crazy!! A week ago it was snowing and I wore my big fat jacket and then today I was standing there just in my dress shirt. Who knows what the weather will be today. Going crazy myself, trying to figure that out. Decided the smartest thing to do down here was just wear layers. Since we're really close to the beach, my friends and I decided we're all going to have to go and flop ourselves on the sand at some point. Don't know when, but we will.

Craig is mad at me because I started this idea- we go to a different museum every weekend, one on Saturday, one on Sunday, and THIS weekend I'm going to be in New York City. I discovered that you can get from here to there REALLY cheap if you go by Greyhound. I go to NYC all the time, actually, and told them all that we're going to have to go together in the future. I have informed Craig that Mr. Hat is lonely and wants to see New York. Craig laughed.

I feel like my internship is a real job, and I treat it like one, except the part where I whip out a camera and give Evan bunny ears.

He obliged and gave me his best "oh no I'm on camera!" expression. I took this photo a couple of days ago. I actually just had surgery on my eye but you can't tell because I have a very good surgeon!! I had to go all the way to Philadelphia to see the doc. Actually I am going all the way BACK to Philly so that she can have a look at the results and take the stitches out of my face (ew...). I'll live. I've been told that they'll miss me at work :)
