The Hall or The Hill?

Well I am officially into week three on The Hill. Interning is amazing. I have gotten to attend the most amazing conferences and briefings. The best briefing I have been to, by far, was the one on China’s economic success and its implications for the rest of the world. I have also been to talks on US- South Korean free trade, Passport back-up, the plight of Muslim women and reform minded Muslims, CBC and Colombia’s president Uribe, EU 101, and a human rights double standard in Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, and Iran.

The human rights one was amazing as well. I feel like I have learned more in the past 2 weeks then I have in the past few months at school. That is an interesting feeling bc I am paying to go to school and being paid to be here… kinda ironic, don’t ya think?
