My last four days in the District

The last week has been and will continue to be a slow one. The president has several out of town trips and the House is already in recess. The only thing the Senate has left to do is confirm Kagan. I hope to be able to go and watch the vote in the press gallery in the Senate chamber, just to say I saw her confirmed after devoting so much time to the events in late June. Other than that, I will be spending this week solely working on the photo archive. It is more time consuming than I expected it would be and I'm doing my best not to go cross-eyed from looking at so many pictures. I still have thousands to go through so I just have to keep going until I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I'll need to start the packing process soon and make sure everything will fit back in my suitcases in order for me to take it home. Something tells me this process will not be as smooth the second time around. I'm very sad to be leaving Hearst and Washington, but there are so many things about returning to the south that I'm looking forward to. Of course I can't wait to see my family and friends, I can't wait for sweet tea and Chick-fil-a, and I can't wait to see the beautiful fields of Berry again! The view pulling up to the Gate of Opportunity is always wonderful! The countdown is four days until I'm in Atlanta and 10 days until I'm back at Berry!
