I am officially finished with my first week of work! I guess because I am so used to crazy waitress jobs, I keep expecting to get overloaded with work. But so far it has been a very nice, fairly relaxed atmosphere. Of note, I took my first group on a tour of the Capitol this week! I had a group of 11 from Sheridan. They were part of a larger group of 70 that we all split up. Amazingly, it went really, really well! I remembered all my facts and answered all their questions (and most importantly, didn’t get lost!). I had one smart-alec kid who kept trying to contradict me, and I wanted to smack him, but then one of the chaperones did so all was good. The hardest part was keeping my group together and moving. It was seriously like herding chickens! But afterwards, when I told them that I had only been here since Saturday and this was my first tour, they were blown away. Besides one weird, spacey woman who wandered away from her group (and was later found by another intern), the whole thing went flawlessly and our intern coordinator even let us go get ice cream afterwards. ;-)
We even finished off the week by an apparently traditional Friday Enzi office competition. Everyone in the office puts in a dollar and then throws a quarter from the back office towards the front door. Whoever gets the quarter the closest to the door wins the money. I really doubt Kerry’s office does this sort of thing. I did alright, and fortunately one of my fellow interns won! The more people I meet, the more I am realizing how much I love Wyoming people.
This morning, Mindi and I took a tour of the White House. The temperature is already in the triple digits and I was dripping sweat by the time we got there. The tour was interesting, but I must say not very impressive. It was really short, and there was virtually no information available. I guess that’s what happens in a still functioning building.
Despite the heat though, we met up with David Crow (a guy I knew from debate back in high school!) and all three of us toured the Smithsonian Natural History museum. Not a bad Saturday, huh?

Hey Molly. This is Roxanne but i don't have a google account and I'm too lazy to make one at the moment. but I'm still commenting. Well it sounds like you have had a busy week. That doesn't sound too fun with how hot it is though!
See Molly how much better it is to work in a Republican office. You all put in a dollar and gamble to see who wins it!
If you were in a democratic office you all would have put in a dollar and then go give it to some homeless guy!!
