We just came back from dinner. We went to a Vietnamese restuarant out in Columbia Heights called Pho 14 and they supposedly have been voted "Best Pho in DC" so we went in with pretty high expectations. And they were met! The broth was good. It was good.
I have been getting better gradually over the past week or so in terms of homesickness. Work is still pretty slow but it has gotten lighter; I am not so nervous anymore. I know I will be later on as I continue to meet new people in the staff and once Congress gets back in session again. But that's ok. I am not heartbreakingly homesick anymore. I am still homesick, but nto as bad. Yesterday was actually the first day I didn't tear up even once at all ha!
Work has generally been really mundane office work--answering phone calls from constituents, sorting and logging in mail, etc. I was so excited to be sent to buy cardstock at the Office Supply Store the other day, only to find out that I didn't need to anymore because we had some cardstock in the office so I ended up not going. This coming week, I want to make sure to go exploring the tunnel systems of the Capitol grounds. I mean, technically, there is nothing wrong with looking at maps as I go along on errands and stuff, but I wanna be comfortable with this place and really know it.
As the homesickness subsides, my excitement is still here, if not increasing. Tomorrow, we're gonna go to the Museum of Natiral History and then eat at a Korean place at Chinatown during Happy Hour or something. I am excited--been craving kimchee!
Huh. Food would be the thing that makes me feel better about being away from home...
Cups of coffee/tea: 3 (I have green tea bags here in my room, plus I finally went into the Union Station Starbucks...BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE PEACH GREEN TEA! Sadness!)
