Neither Good or Bad, But Thinking Makes It So

I'm starting think that I might need to take a break from political science books, pop culture, theater, and literature. A majority of my blog posts have either been inspired by move lines or quotations from plays.

Anyway, I'm nearing the end of my time here at Georgetown University and I thought I would reflect back on my time here.

Needless to say, I have actually enjoyed my summer here in DC. I've had a chance to run into some old friends and do things I haven't done before or recently. Despite what I've said, I actually enjoyed my classes.
On the one hand, the Power and Values class actually made me think a little bit more about what I believe and what I consider to be moral choices. I really think that I may actually be a little bit closer to finally defining who I am (or at least more willing to use non ambiguous adjectives and concrete descriptions.)

My internship seminar class was kinda of a bust but at least I got to meet some interesting people. However, the other parts (Professional Development Series, Site Briefs, lunch) were rather informative and at least were pretty cool (although I wish we got tours with the site briefs). In fact, I might actually consider taking the foreign service exam. I've always had in interest in International Relations and working for the State Dept might be a chance for me to find out (albeit, an internship might be more likely given the economy and the government enjoyment of cutting State's budget for no good reason.)

I'll admit that I was a skeptic of the Business, Government, and Public Policy class. However, the professor did make some good points about how government interference can lead to messing up the marketplace. Apparently, the law of unintended consequences applies greatly in regulations and legislation.

Anyway, I'm happy that I was accepted to TFAS. I might consider applying next year for the ICPES program to finish rounding out my education. Plus, I'll be 21 and able to take advantage of Happy Hour!!
