Creating a journal for DC

Hi, I will be doing an internship at the PNG Embassy in Washington DC and as part of the routine to keep track of the days and events while I am in DC, I am required to keep a record of all the highlights every single day that I am there.

In the summer of 2006 I was working as a research assistant with the United States Asia-Pacific Council (USAPC) in DC. As part of my job I was assisting Dr. Mark Borthwick on the 3rd edition of his book. I also visited Capitol Hill regularly to observe congressional hearings and write reports. During my short stint I was able to meet some very prominent people, including the ambassadors of the Pacific Islands countries in the US. I also represented the USAPC as an observer at the Pacific Island ambassadors meeting at the National Geographic Society. I am hoping that in my upcoming stint with the PNG Embassy I would like to meet some of US prominent political leaders.

At first, it was kinda hectic and boring you know, to write down what I did each day. But after reading through my last summer's journal, which I did on a notepad on my PC, I find it an interesting reading, you know, to go back and reminisce on what I did and so forth.

So I thought, wot da heck! now I'll do a blog and keep my journal. I am a little bit behind time and perhaps technology too, mind you. So, there it goes. I am getting prepared well ahead of time and maybe start keeping track of the events now.

Oh gosh, I gotta get back to writing. I have to complete my thesis before looking forward to DC.

Until then...
