Where I Spend 37 hrs a Week

The Office

Seal of the Great State of North Dakota

Ben Franklin in the Capitol

Appropriations Committee Room

The Famous Capitol Dome

Work is by far the highlight of my time in Washington. I walk up the capitol steps in the morning and realize how much has been decided and how central the capitol complex is to the way our country functions. On a typical work day, I get in at 8:45 in the morning and do some typical intern clerical work. After about an hour of busy work, I begin my projects, working closely with the legislative staff mostly on the issues of oil, alternative energy, and banking (which has taken over my work life). The staff is great and really and it is a good group of interns as well. There are 3 full time interns and 4 part timers: almost all of them go to George Washington George Mason or Georgetown.
