Legislative Day and Today

So last Wednesday, I went down to the CAP Legislative Day in DC. It was pretty cool. We got to hang out in the hotel, meet some really cute guys from VT and then, the next day, we got to walk around the Hill.

First, we went and saw our representative but he was busy so we saw his staffer, Jim, instead. And Jim was sooo cute. Especially when he smiled, lol. And I'm not obsessing, it's just true...

Next, we went and saw Senator Carper but he was also away so we talked to his staffer. After we finished with the staffer, he said Sen. Carper wanted a picture with us so could we come back later. Unfortunately, our later appointment would run into coming back so we had to decline. :( So, then, he said, "well, let me look something up", called a couple people and came back a little later to say "so, I'm going to take you over to the Capitol building and we're going to use the senators and their staffers private train/subway" !!!! SHOCK !!!! Anyway, so we got on this little train thing and choo-choo-ed over to inside the Capitol. And, we went to the Senate Waiting Room and had our picture taken.

Then, Sen. Carper was like "So, where are you going now?" and I'm like "Off to see Sen. Kaufman's staff, sir." So, he says "are you going to see Ted [the Senator]?" "No, sir, he's busy..." "He's not busy, wait here..." And off Sen. Carper runs to grab Sen. Kaufman and make him come over and talk to us. :D It was so funny and cool.

Then we talked to Sen. Kaufman's staff in Vice-President Biden's meeting room (cause the senator's room wasn't unpacked yet and Biden was like 'here, use my room.' " lol

Then we left. And went swimming. And had dinner at Sbarro's. And packed up. And left. Sigh.

Today, I have a phone interview with the NSA for the Stokes Educational Scholarship Program. I'm not sure if I want to do it or not. It's either that or USAFA and I can't decide. Not sure if I want a desk job or not. Not sure if I want to do intelligence or not. Not sure if anything...

State Science Olympiad competition on Saturday. I'm missing Drill Team for it so I have to run a lot today and tomorrow to make up for it. At least a couple miles...

Will be taking my Spaatz in the second week of June sometime...dum, dum, duuummm...
