Longest days EVER!

After a horrible night's sleep and waking up for the day at 5:45am, I put about 7 miles in at work on Tuesday. My projects entailed hand-delivering letters to EVERY SENATORIAL office (which took approximately 2 and a half hours), normal trips taking the mail and running odd errands, and hand-delivering more letters on the House side after hours. When all was said and done (around 6:30pm), I was exhausted. The last thing I wanted to do was risk going home to a crazy houseful of 510 Cers...because you never know what to expect with us. Fortunately, a new acquaintance of mine was ready and willing to take me out for dinner and ice cream. Even though I was extremely unpleasant for quite some time, he managed to put a smile on my face. Before we knew it, midnight was upon us. It was all worth it (at least on my end), but it made for another short night's sleep.

Today at work was long for the exact opposite reason as yesterday. I barely had time to breathe on Tuesday, and today I had all the time in the world. I was still productive, and the day didn't go without it's exciting moments. They were just few and far between. The most thrilling--using my grammar knowledge to edit a letter to Bill Gates after he spoke this morning to the Science and Technology Committee. Once again, its not every day that you have a chance to be a part of sending important mail to the richest man in the country.

We are scheduled to attempt touring the capitol with our intern coordinator tomorrow morning. Let's just hope the plans don't fall through again, because we allegedly are going to give tours next week. The verdict is still out on that one, but I'll be sure to keep you all posted :)

*MISS YOU*

Ummmm so Bill Gates is the second richest man in the country and the third richest in the world. Warren Buffet is #1
