it says "property of U.S. government" on my badge
so i work for the government now (who knew?!), and the first thing i see when i walk into the building? georgie bush's face with this icky toothy smile plastered on it and big eyes. it looks totally unnatural, sorta like that soundgarden video where everyone's face is distorted. not a great way to start the first day at work.

everyone in dc totally knows each other, especially if you're an asian american student. i've really enjoyed meeting all these new people! and you know i don't even like meeting new people. it's great to kick it with my roomies and my co-intern; they're so fun. i'm having a fabulous time in DC and i haven't even been sightseeing yet.
