Candidates, anyone?

I have now seen two of the three major candidates for the Presidency. I went to a speech at the Communication's Workers of America conference, and both Senators Clinton and Obama were there. Clinton is pretty darn petite!! I'm really tall myself, so, she seemed even shorter :) Obama seemed very tall and really slender. They both sort of swooped in and then scampered out after the speeches. It was SO cool. I'm still waiting for my chance to see Senator McCain.

While I wait for that, I'll just get to see everyone else, lol. It's really bizarre that I'll be walking down the hallway of one of the office buildings around here, and a very well known Congressperson will wander by. I mean, yeah, they work here, but it's still sort of weird when Senator John Kerry or Senator Kennedy just randomly passes you by. Someone was excitedly telling me that they were eating a burrito at the taco place on Pennsylvania Avenue, and Supreme Court Justice Alito came in. My question? What did he order, burrito, taco, or plate? Unfortunately, they didn't know :(

Right now Capitol Hill is totally hopping. There is a debate between the Dems on Wednesday, and that's all people are talking about, other than the Pope. Yup, the POPE is here too. Wow, crazy! The greatest part in all that, is the part where I'm standing in the middle of it!!

It's a little amazing to me that there are only four weeks left. One of my roommates was baking cupcakes today, so it's smelling all cake-like in here. My fourth roomie is bouncing off the walls, because she got a job in Fairfax (Virginia). I've been hearing stuff like that all over the place.

Craig was just over here, stuffing in one of the cupcakes, and telling us how he got accepted into grad school back in Ohio. It's really sad that in a few weeks, we'll be leaving each other, but at the same time, it's really good how well everyone made out. I'd say that I'm just happy for all the friends I made while I was staying here.
