Wow. That's all I can say right now! I'm a bit delirious from sleep deprivation.
Today was quite an insane day. Started out normal. We met the author of the book we have been reading for this class, Dante Scala.
THURSDAY
We basically made phone calls until it was dinner time (yeah, about seven hours of calls!!!) and then we started watching the Iowa Caucuses. Although Romney ended up only getting 25% of the state, we all thought he did really well- I especially loved his response on Fox News... "It's the first inning in a fifty inning game...."
FRIDAY (BASICALLY)
After that a few of us interns went to our supervisor's house and grabbed some hot chocolate and headed out to welcome MITT ROMNEY! He arrived at about 3:30 am in a huge Jet Blue airplane with a bunch of press and his family. It was so much fun! I was right in the front during his little thank you speech. I also got to meet him and get a picture with him.
We got back to Lauren's house at around 4:45 am and I think I got about an hour of sleep. Lauren had to get back to the office at 8:00 for a staff meeting... craziness. We ended up being able to make it to meet Bill Richardson and go on the field trip to the State Capitol in Concord.
Later we just made calls and then we staffed a town hall meeting in Manchester. That was great! It was so fun to see all of the local people and their excitement... Not to mention being considered "staff" for a night.
TODAY
While we were meeting with him the fire alarms started going off..... our hotel had caught on fire!! So, instead of helping out at the Romney office and going canvassing, we had to wait until about 3:00 to get our luggage out. Anyways, the hotel was a mess when we finally got in so we were put up in a new (and much, much nicer) hotel about 15 miles away in Massachusetts. Oh, and we were definitely in the local news for that! haha
THREE DAYS TO GO!
