I have just finished my first day at Georgetown! It has been absolutely amazing so far. This morning we basically had more orientation where we learned more about the speakers program, and some other random stuff. Finally the Senators and Representatives have become real. I finally see what they do, who they are without ever having seen the Capitol. It?s all around, and it?s obvious. I used to think that the Senate was more important than the House, but truthfully they are equal. Sure, the Senate has greater odds, but everything has to be passed through both houses. And that?s what democracy is all about. Not the fame, but the progress. I?m going to meet my Senator, Mr. Ron Wyden, tomorrow at 10:30, and then I?ll be able to listen to more speakers after that. This place is really liberal though. The RAs, the profs, so many people.
I had my first Constitutional Law class today, and it was absolutely amazing as well. My professor really knows his stuff, and you can tell that he loves it. I learned so much in today alone. I love the Constitution! It doesn?t matter whether I?m liberal, conservative, or independent as long as I?m for the Constitution. Wow, this is amazing. On Sunday we get all day to do absolutely anything we want. Ahh! There?s so much stuff out there to do! I?m definitely going to the Vietnam Memorial, and the Smithsonian, and the Lincoln Memorial. Oh boy. I will be a Representative for Texas for 4 years.
