Nervous excitement.
In the coming days, I will be covering two hearings in DC. One at the senate and the other at the house. I am nervous, excited and completely out of my comfort zone. I can’t wait! I was talking (read: texting) with one of my professors when I commented “who would have thunk it?” She…
