Those who live in the District, especially those who work in
the behemoth called the Federal Government, know that August is a slow time
around town. Congress is in recess, the city
empties out as people are taking their families away before school starts again,
and even the President usually takes vacation.
As a brand new Senate employee, even I know this is the last restful stretch
until the holiday season. It is a perfect opportunity to get myself settled
here on the Hill, and get mentally and physically set for my favorite season –
fall.
Today is August 3rd. Congress comes back on September 8th. That gives me four weeks to kick start my
healthy lifestyle, new job, and hopefully new chapter in my life (though we are
still in session through Friday). I just
turned 26, and with a quarter century under my belt, it’s time for me to get hustling,
figure out what I want, and make it happen for myself.
The black and white: GW – 135.
