What do I mean when I say it was a "normal" day?

Right now there are a few other interns in the office: Ross, Josh (pictured with Leslie above 2 posts below), Carlye, and Matt. They’re all nice Maryland-ers :) Here are some of the things we do in the office as interns.

-enter survey data from mail surveys that come back from constituents

-answer phones and re-direct calls among all the staffers

-scan things, fold letters, work fancy machines

-make deliveries to the flag office or errands to the office supply store

-go on searches for things for staff members

-get to sit in on interesting meetings and/or hearings

-opening mail and figuring out what to do with it within the office

We get to take about an hour lunch break at around noon. Leslie and I have been bringing frozen meals that we warm up, or leftovers. We sometimes eat with the other interns in the cafeteria as well. 

We have one more week left at Capitol Hill before we start our "rotations" in Manassas, VA. I'm sure we'll miss many things about the experience, except maybe the commute! Although we're becoming quite accustomed to it. We can even pass for regulars (we got asked for directions yesterday!) It'll be really exciting to move on, though, because we'll have the chance to do a lot more work specific to the pro-life movement, instead of just brushing up on our politics (speaking of which, I recently acquired a free pocket Constitution!)
