On Monday The Washington Center scheduled a meeting with White House Press Secretary Dana Perino in the Eisenhower Executive Building of the White House. She spoke a bit about her job and how she got where she is now, and then she did a Q&A with us. This was a very cool event that I'm glad I got to go to.
Tuesday I go an e-mail that Congressman Boozman may not be coming back to DC until January so I probably won't get to go out to lunch with him unless a "lame duck" session of Congress is called.
Class on Wednesday was interesting. We discussed how the media is conforming more to the government's wishes instead of challenging it as much nowadays. I've decided to write my term paper on equine violence (as approved by my professor) and next week we are going to be discussing animal violence, so it should be interesting for me.
I'm going to try and get tickets to the White House tree lighting in December. The tickets are free, but they are only given out in certain locations starting this Saturday, so I'm trying to figure out how to get one.
I think I'm going to go hit up a couple of the amazing tack shops in the NoVA area this weekend. I love how horsey some of the areas here are-- another reason to move here!
Blitz is almost all better from his abscess and I'm told he has an insatiable appetite. Mark is the same as always.
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."
