I've been incredibly remiss in posting, so here's a recap of the Summer of Fun so far:
May
Yay for being back in DC! It's ridiculous hot for late May, but I have a week til my internship starts to settle in. I'm living with Justin (yay!) near the Rhode Island Ave metro stop. Sort of a sketchy area - definitely worse than where I lived in JP/Roxbury this fall, but my building seems secure and the apt has a balcony and laundry, so it's all good.
I started working on May 31 at the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty in downtown DC. Working downtown is awesome - I'm scheduling lunch dates with MEY, Haley, and Justin, something I never could do during my three years of working in Tenleytown. My direct supervisor actually works remotely, so I'm getting assignments from him via phone and email as well as helping out around the office. While I've worked on homelessness issues before, we use a human rights framework that is new to me so I'm learning a lot.
