So I finally think I have the metro down, the roads down and the people of DC sort of figured out. Which feels great, I love being in cities and experiencing the energy and when I feel conditioned to the area it makes it even better. Last week was a lot of fun - I finally had my first day off!! It was tough going 7 days a week and training and working on stuff so I took my day off and just read for fun in the park by the Washington monument - got a little color, probably too much color. I also feel that I am finally fitting in the office, went out with a couple of the girls last week. We went to Jazz in the Park at the Sculpture Gardens where we got caught in a torrential downpour, I was soaked and my legs are still a light shade of blue after being dyed from my skirt. Last Saturday I went to a law school information forum. There were over 150 schools there and informational panels - I found a couple programs that really appealed to me. So maybe in a few years, after I get a few other things I want to do out of my way, it might be a possibility. I am looking forward to 4th of July!!! We are going to the fireworks on the National Mall and then my roommates and I are going to a barbecue with some Marines (I'm not quite sure about that one yet, we will see...). Other than that I just had a couple more classes this week about grant writing, speaking with donors and research - which have all been really helpful.
On a fun note - I met Rick Schroeder yesterday at the Holocaust Museum! and yes, I acted like a 15 year old in 1986. He came up with his sons to the table and started asking me questions and I just stared at him (very Toula in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, for those who have seen it). Anyways it was fun to meet my first celebrity there.
Also - RIP Billy Mays. I don't know how many more celebrity deaths I can take, and the amount of time spent by Nastassia and I doing Billy Mays impressions is epic so I included a picture of him. "Billy Mays here....."
