Remember that time I was on the front page of the Boston Globe?
Here's me at the Kyle Sampson hearings that I went to while I was in Washington D.C. interning--front page of theBoston Globe, March 30, 2007! I never got around to scanning it until I was just cleaning my room today.
Wait, what do you mean you don't see me? Oh... well, you see, we had these really great seats but I was with my friend and occasional troublemaker Adam Kelly, who through a series of wacky misadventures and the intervention of a not very friendly or intern-loving Judiciary Committee staffer lost us said good seats. So we're way in the back. Photo below, with me at left (circled) and Adam on my left as we strain to see the swearing in. The security people that day were very cool, as most of the Capitol Police were. We had fun chats with them whenever we got stuck in the back. : )
Anyhow, yeah... we were in newspaper and media photos all the time since we all went to lots of cool hearings like this one! Lots and lots of really great times down in D.C., I can't wait to go back.
I'm currently a rising senior at Yale University and I've been blogging about college admissions and higher education marketing trends since I began my college application process in 2005. I now also write about my experience here at Yale.

Sam, you didn't fully explain my sassyness. I went in early and sat in Joe Biden's legal council's chair. Because I wanted to be on TV. Then The Mole came.

Well, I wasn't sure if you'd want to share that story of your activities during your employment, but now the entire internet knows, and it is a nice story anyway so I guess it does not matter.
Did I tell you how one time, on one of the last days, I was running around Dirksen / Hart and I saw her EVERYWHERE? It was so scary. I saw her I think at least 6 times in an hour, and she was even you know, changing clothes and stuff to be stealthy. It was freaky.
