I am back! And I will never have a high school class again.
Sorry for my absence, everyone–I was just trying to drain the last dregs of my high school experience, relishing time spent with my bestest friends at Exeter. I’m currently on Spring Break for two weeks and will be going to Washington D.C. on the 25th of march to start my spring trimester internship in Senator John Kerry’s office. Should be lots and lots of fun. I’m excited about the opportunities for personal growth and free lobbyist food. I will be trying to get back into the blogging groove of things over break, though I don’t quite know what will happen while I am in Washington.
So, stay posted!
Congratulations Sam, good luck with everything this spring.

Lucky you, to be done with high school classes! Ten more weeks here. Uch.
But don’t expect that much free lobbyist food. I don’t know how much you follow the changes in lobbyist rules, but we Washingtonians are rather obsessed with our lobbyists. The rules have recently changed so that the lobbyists can’t technically buy meals for the members of Congress anymore- instead, they’re making campaign donations that get them tickets to events, where they can get the same face time they used to get. It’s all a little bit ridiculous. But best of luck with your internship!
Sam – Have fun in D.C. with the internship. Looking forward to reading about your experiences.
