First Day of Class

Today was the very first day of our research seminar.  This seminar facilitates the writing and development of our detailed research paper.  I am considering changing my topic and I hope that once I start my internship on Tuesday I will come up with a clear and concise research question that is also related to my work at the Smithsonian.

Today was much warmer than any day since my arrival which was nice.  I already feel like I am adjusting to the weather since I happily walked around in mid 40 degree weather and considered it "warm."  I had lunch at a little restaurant located close to the White House which was mostly filled with professionals on their lunch breaks in order to have a little preview of what life will be like once my internship begins!  I spent more time walking around the city and enjoying the scenery and history that abounds.  I took a short trip out to Pentagon City and had some amazing views of the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial along the way with the sun setting in the background.  I also caught a glimpse of the Smithsonian building I will be working in!  I can't wait to do some more exploration!
