Room with a View
I have finally arrived in Washington DC. The empty flight from Atlanta went off with out a hitch and I am getting settled into my apartment which I am sharing with another guy from the program. This week is full of orientation type of activities, then we have a 3 day weekend for the holiday. Tuesday starts work down at Ft. McNair with NDU. I have a wonderful view of the Capital from my window on the 200 block of Constitution Ave. Unfortunately there isn’t really a
convenient place to go grocery shopping on Capital Hill, amazing I know.
My roommate is a 21 year old senior who is from the Athens area and seems like a nice enough dude, it is just a bit of an adjustment to go from my wife and dogs to living with a hormone enriched 21 year old man. I think we will get along just fine. I look forward to getting to know him better.
Without a car I should lose some poundage. Everything is at least a 1/2 mile walk, heck it is 6 flights of stairs to my room, because I do not trust the rickety elevator that once hoisted U.S. Grant to the 3rd floor so he could take a pee on the way to the white house (Christina, that is a made up story, I am just emphasizing that it is old). Living so close to the Capital offer very nice vistas and also provides a wonderful opportunity for hearing Capital Police Sirens on a fairly regular basis.
Blog 1 is in the books and maybe if Christina is lucky I will write in it again.
