A Different DC

Hello everyone!

As many of you may know, I kept a blog when I was living in Spain and traveling Europe/Africa/Asia in the Spring of 2009. This is the same idea, but not linked, as I feel who I am as a person has changed since then. However, if you'd like to revisit that blog, you can go to http://jameegoesabroad.blogspot.com/ and peruse.

As all my friends and family know, the job I had in high school/college that caught everyone's ear and attention was working as Wonder Woman, the female superhero for DC Comics. Oddly enough, any time I Googled anything generalized as "DC" during my research for my move to Washington DC, it would pop up with both the comic company AND Washington DC. I found this oddly fitting. From my first job to this current position... DC follows me!

As perhaps not everyone knows... I have recently moved to Washington DC! It was suggested I apply for a Congressional Internship in late January, and before I knew it, I was interviewing and accepting a position. Within a month, I was tying off loose ends in Los Angeles to pack up and move to Washington DC.

I arrived Friday-Saturday at midnight, and it was pouring. My friend Cheyenne said the rain symbolized a "fresh start" -- let's hope it's the start of something amazing. I've been here 48 hours and can already tell this is the experience of a lifetime and I could not be more grateful for the love, support, and encouragement from friends and family. It's quite the leap, but the timing could not be better.

Feel free to follow along as I share my experiences working on Capitol Hill. Perhaps I have a different form of "Wonder Woman" within just waiting to flourish in this dynamic city. Let's hope so.
