Well, today was my first day at the ACLU, and I have to say I really think I'm going to love it. There are 3 interns in the policy department, and about 10 in the legal department, so quite a few more than I'm used to running around with! Today was mostly housekeeping and a little bit of training. Because I'm in policy and the Texas legislative session ends on Monday (God and the Governor willing), our supervisors were more than a little frazzled. I think if I didnt come in on Monday they wouldnt notice at all it will probably be that crazy! I also found out that our dress code is apparently business casual Austin style, ie. no cleavage or crack and we'll all be just fine. I was really excited to rock my new dress that mom bought me at the end of the school year, and if I do say so myself it was mighty cute!
After work hours, we had a little mixer in my hood. It was nice to go out with the group to a bar in the area, especially when the boss ladies pick up the tab! After that we still had an hour or so of sunlight, so I decided to take the dogs (yes both of them) for a big walk on the river. Lets just say both of them are passed out right now and havent really moved since we got home. Here they are in a big field by the apartment before we left for our adventure. Overall it was a super successful first day and I really cant wait for Monday, er Tuesday as it may be!
