This week! It was crazy at work, but crazy in a good way. I attended a lot of briefings and did a lot of legislative research, which meant A LOT of memos. However, it gave me a chance to dig in and work on my writing and how to make it more concise and clear. The weather was a bit colder which is always harder, but spring is starting to peak through. Little walks around the neighborhood allow me to reflect on the little moments of my week, the ups and downs. I have found myself becoming close with the other interns in the office and our experiences help each other grow and we have also developed our own in-office support system. We celebrate the little victories together and that is what matters! I am loving my time here and am very grateful to have such a wonderful internship placement that allows me to walk away feeling like I did good work almost every day. I cannot wait for warmer weather and more time outside!
