Kathryn's Pontifications in the Capital

For four wonderful months, I'll be living in a penthouse apartment in Arlington, VA; interning at a prestigious organization in Washington DC; and generally having a magnificent time.

danger's my middle name

We went to the International Spy Museum today. I think I've decided to change professions.

Just kidding.

The museum was really cool. I wouldn't mind going back just to look at everything again. There were displays about disguises, and picking locks, and the atomic bomb, and the Cold War. There was a big display about code-breaking, too. There was an authentic Enigma machine. It was all very cool. The exit movie was about espionage in today's War on Terror. There was footage of the second plane hitting, and then when the first tower fell. I physically reacted when I saw it fall. I don't think it'll ever not affect me.

In other news, I'm having a little bit of, I don't know, cold feet, concerning my impending legal career. I'm starting to wonder whether or not I would be happiest going to law school. I'm starting to wonder if I wouldn't make a better psychologist. It's making me a little crazy. But maybe I'm just nervous about taking the LSAT in two months. I don't know.

    Take the LSAT. If you don't do well on it, just become a psychologist. heehee.

    (Sorry, I understand and sympathize with your personal consternation as well, I just thought I'd bring some levity to things.)

    I would like to add one thing to what Joni said...

    Patwick, Patwick, she's our woman,
    If she can't do it no one can!

    That and if you don't periodically freak yourself out, do you have a break down or something?

    Ha. Ha. Ha.

    I'll break you down. That's what your old man said.

    Wait are you saying that you are going to break me down and my old man predicted this? Or are you saying that my old man is treatening to break you down? And how does one break down another human being? Is it a simplification process like breaking down an arguemnet? Or making them more compact (ie breaking down a box)? Or is it more like causing them to not work anymore by somehow breaking them?

    So many questions so, little thyme.
