Trying to get the most out of this experience -

by forcing myself to think about it.

Yeah, yeah.  That’s what the field notes are supposed to be for.  But that’s just for work.  This is meant to be a way to reflect on the experience of interning in DC overall.  And yes, I’m completely aware that 99% of my thoughts and writing will be the same old observations and realizations that every person before me and after me will have.

But for now, from where I’m sitting, none of that matters.  :)
