Welcome to Washington D.C.

Eight months, a new city, and two jobs later...

After a really great learning experience in Philadelphia at a public relations firm, I decided that my one true love would always be journalism. And of course because a change of career wasn't enough, I decided to change cities as well and join my two older sisters in our nation's capital. From the moment I stepped foot in Washington D.C., I was enamored. I love the city's history and diverse culture. I love the feeling that something is always happening. I love watching the President's motorcade block traffic and zoom down Rockcreek Parkway (I'm told this will lose it's appeal quickly). I love the many running trails along the river and over to Roosevelt Island. I love living in Georgetown and being within walking distance, yes, WALKING distance to work (good-bye hour and half commute). 

There's something so invigorating and energizing about being in a city where you know that important government decisions affecting the nation are being made only a few miles away. Needless to say, I'm loving this second chapter of my post-graduate life. 

So it's here in this great city that I end my blogging hiatus and will again share any tips, stories or "how-to" I feel may be helpful/ relevant/ amusing to other young professionals in the area. Deep breath, straighten up, strut ahead.... it's time for round two.
