Today was extremely emotional for me. Every month, wounded soldiers from all around the world who have been sent to Walter Reed Medical Army Center tour the Pentagon and have a luncheon in their honor. And today I saw them and clapped as they entered the Pentagon. It was so sad and horrifying. And then think of all of the ones who did not make it! Even more depressing.

My boss took us out to eat at Pentagon Row. We went to Champs and discussed work and leisure. It was pretty relaxing. Then he had to leave to attend a meeting, and we got to stay and hang out. Pretty cool way to end the long week. The office has been super busy with a bunch of briefings lately, so it’s been a pretty heavy week for all of us.

I am eager for the weekend because my boyfriend is coming up and we are staying in Arlington. My roommates have two different guests staying at our apartment and it would be pretty crowded if I were staying with my guest, too! We are going to see Pirates of the Caribbean 2, which I have been anxious to see, and going to DC Improv Comedy Club to see Kevin Pollack.

On Monday, I am showing him the Pentagon and then we are going to a huge Department of Defense Career Fair. There will be at least 40 different agencies representing the DoD among other federal agencies. So who knows what may happen!? I might just find a job!
