Excitement in the District

Being in the United States is great. Being in the United States in an election year is infinitely more so. But being in the United States in Washington, DC in an election year is enough to make a mosquito give up drinking blood for forty days and forty nights! I have never been surrounded but so much political activity in my short 21 years. I am so grateful for the opportunity to wake up to the Washington Post each morning to know what’s going on at the White House or turn the television on and find out the latest on the happenings on Capitol Hill. Being but miles away from the Supreme Court of the United States is reason enough to celebrate every moment I remember that I am actually in the District of Columbia. This SAWIP thing is pretty awesome.
