The city is packed. A friend told me recently that that's why she loves intern season. During the year, DC, and Foggy Bottom in particular, are weirdly empty. Most of the workers are commuters, so the only folks around in these neighborhoods are students. Then the summer comes and its packed. All the apartments and dorms are full,the bars and restaurants rake in the business, and the excitement is palpable.
And so here I am, at the Religious Action Center for Reform Judaism, surrounded by fellow interns, as we learn about networking and how to be a good intern. We're all here on a program where we will take these classes and work at different lobby groups and non-profits. My internship is actually at the RAC, so I'm here all day.
It's funny, coming from Rochester where people wear whatever will keep them warm, seeing everybody my age sweating in their business attire feels like an act. Like we're all here in our Sunday Best, uncomfortably jogging to the nearest air conditioner.
As the days go on, I'll try to get this on the subject of what it is that I am doing, and how we're all fairing. For now, see you soon.

Thank you for the start. Looking forward to hearing more.
