This morning Jenna and I took the shuttle from the metro station to work. Even with missing the correct bus stop, we still ended up being over thirty minutes early on our first day of work. We had orientation before lunch and were thrown right into doing research for projects after we returned from lunch. Instead of being labeled as an intern, I get the title of Research Assistant to sound more esteemed. I'm very impressed by the internship so far and I am really glad that I chose to work at Chwat and Co. Mr. Chwat is very nice and brilliant, so I am very happy to be working for him.
The other three interns in the office are great too! Most of the people I've met in the Washington Center program have been very nice and personable. I'm not going to want to leave here! Tomorrow morning Mr. Chwat is sending the other interns and I get to go on another scavenger hunt in order to become more familiar with available resources for research (libraries) and with Capitol Hill.
I haven't made any plans yet for tonight, so I'm not sure what I'll be doing.
This blog is a collection of experiences during Toni's internship in a government relations firm in the Washington D.C. area.
"We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily
differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee."
