Are politicians celebrities?

I want to apologize to my FEW loyal readers. I have been extremely neglectful in my blogging, but partly because I doubt any of you want to know exactly what I do at work everyday, because it's pretty much the same each day. I mean, I do different things, but none of it would make any sense to those not in the communications field (which I used to not be a part of). I used to think I had to blog all the time, and I felt bad when I didn't, but really, with 9-10 hours of work a day, each week, nothing very exciting occurs. I do most of my museum-ing on weekends, and I write/photograph it accordingly. It's hard to really come up with new and exciting things to write about. In fact, at this very minute, I am writing about nothing, but trying to do it in as many words possible. Did you notice?!

Anyways, in a little bit of news, I saw a celebrity the other day. His celebrity star factor outside of the beltway might not be that big, but when I see him on TV all the time, I thought it was cool. So I am walking back from work, and who walks right by me looking all Senatorial? Senator Chris Dodd, D-Connecticut. It is weird sometimes to think that they are just regular people like we are, but they are I guess. Maybe this is sad for me, but sometimes I walk across the capitol with my C-SPAN credentials hanging out hoping that somebody, some school group, thinks I am someone important ha!

It is a Thursday, the end of the week, and what do I get to do now??? Go to class. The program really did a poor job of setting up our class/seminar schedule. The last thing I want to do right now is go listen to somebody talk about themselves for 2.5 hours. It's a struggle.

Tomorrow, Mom and Dad are coming to visit. I haven't seen them in quite some time, well, 2 months, but I really haven't changed much. It will be nice to have them here, to see some familiar faces, and well...STAY IN A HOTEL! To get out of the awful apartment for a little, a few days, will be much appreciated. MAybe get a nice dinner or two?

With each day passing, it's another day closer to my future. But, I am no more ready to do this thing called life.

Where will I be next year? DC, NY, CHI, MI? I have absolutely no idea. For now, and for the next month+, it's DC, so I'm just going to stick with that for now.

I have absolutely run out of things to say, and can't pretend that anything more interesting happened today.

p.s. I may get to go to the WHITE HOUSE next week!
