Orientation nonsense

Today I had orientation for 3 hours, it was so boring and really scary. They kept on talking about drinking and doing something stupid while interning and having it all bite you in the rear. After that, I had my first class where, again, the professor just talked about the seminars, the internship, and the research paper. I knew when signing up to do the paper, which is 35-50 pages, it would be kind of hard. But when they kept on talking about it today, I got a little overwhelmed. But I just keep telling myself that I am not a proscrastinator. Tonight the friends that I've made already went downtown on the metro to try and get in a club. Unfortunately, it was already 10:30 and there was a huge line and we had to get back on the metro before 12(it stops at 12), so we just came back. But it was a nice little adventure. However, it was cool because in the background was the white house. No one else was in awe as I was, they must already be used to the fact that so much history and power is all around and just hanging out in the background.
