Warning: Imported from old college This post was moved from an older website hosted on a college server. These have been unedited and contain many mistakes. But, whatever. Greetings from the Great White City, the Grand Metropolis, the Nation’s Capitol… Washington D.C. Between my last post and now, I flew from the beautiful state of Colorado to Washington, D.C. so I that I could learn about the legislative process and also learn more about water policy. I haven’t updated since early January, so I will complete this update in a style fitting for CMC students- bullet points: In cooler news, I recently submitted my op-ed from Professor Weinstein’s class to a number of print publications. Hopefully, these print publications will accept it. This would be sweet if I am published. As of yet, I will not post my op-ed because I am hoping to get it published. Interesting thing, I love getting lost in this city because no matter where you are, you will always see people you know. I was at Office Depot and saw a college parliamentary debater from USC in Washington DC. As well, I recently was lost along the mall and was came up on the Lincoln memorial during one of the Congratulations to Professor Roth for his lecture: “In the Shadow of Birkeneau: Morality During and After the Holocaust” at the Holocaust Museum. An earlier post detailed the sad events waged against Professor Roth, and yet people stillseem to hold grudges. I must thank all CMC alumni who have been not only hospitable while in DC, but have also helped out with feeding some starving interns in DC. In particular TJ, Emily, Jordan, Lisa Hillman, and Gina … The greatest thing is that all of the political operatives in DC from CMC are Democrats. What is the deal? Where are the repubs? They must be in higher positions (shadowy figures in Washington, D.C.)… I am currently looking into internships for the upcoming summer and have come to the conclusion that the coolest summer internships were taken during the previous Fall semester. There you go! I have to warn everyone, if you are looking for a government internship, then apply early, and apply often. I am sending out applications for journalism internships (because media dictates our lives), internships with the finance community, more water policy institutes, government jobs, and possible internships in public service. I’ve retired my boys from the Pad and replaced it with the DC Intern Roll Call: Eric Chow (Sunnyvale, CA)- Eric is definitely the most athletic in the Pad. He is active on the CMS Stags Tennis team and ROTC. Eric plans to double major in Neuroscience and Psychology, and minor in Chinese. In the Pad, Eric avidly monitors his fantasy football, studies day and night, and sings to 80’s music. Eric just finished an internship at the Veteran’s Hospital at Palo Alto. As of right now, Eric is considering being a surgeon. Eric’s Xanga. John Wilson (Hebron, CT)- From the East Coast to the West, John Wilson bridges all borders with his love of Ultimate Frisbee. John is News Editor of the Claremont Independent, and active in InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. John’s major is Government, but he can be seen gushing Russian on the street corner. John’s plans are Undecided, a popular plan with many college students. Paul Van Deventer (La Canada, CA)- The correct pronunciation is La Canada. Paul graduated from La Canada High School where he obtained top honours in his school. He has been active in his church and in his community. Here at CMC, Paul is involved with the Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship and plans to major in Economics. Paul can be seen avidly checking the news every morning, noon, and night at the Drudge Report. Paul recently finished an internship with Jet Propulsion Laboratories in Pasadena, CA where he worked as a financial analyst on the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer Project (WISE).
