Next Tuesday, I’ll be following in the steps of Jimmy Stewart’s indefatigable protagonist, Mr. Smith, and heading to Washington D.C.
I won’t stage any filibusters, but I’ll probably exhaust myself striving for good. The good life, anyway.
I’ll apply myself at work. I’ll be reading and writing on my hour commute by Metro.
And after hours and on weekends, I’ll be
- Backpacking the Appalachians
- Hitting up venues like the punk club The Black Cat and the dance club Lux Lounge
- Soaking up the treasures of the Smithsonian, including those at the National Zoo, the Museum of Natural History, and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum
- Playing pickup soccer on the National Mall
- Taking day trips to Baltimore to visit my friend Martin and the National Aquarium
- taking lots and lots of pictures
College has been awesome. Being a grown up is going to be awesomer.
