Well, this part isn't so much school, but an internship for the summer: we're pretty sure he'll be with the Senate Judiciary committee. Lots and lots of action for when the Supreme Court Justices finally officially announce their retirement. See, the guy who is the top staff person for the Republicans in that committee (title: Chief Counsel) is in our ward, and Adam talked to him about getting him in the door. Yesterday at church, Mike said that he'll make arrangements for Adam during the summer. It's unpaid, unless they get extra funding for the Supreme Court stuff, and even then no promises. But still. The experience of working with Senate confirmations of possibly 3 Supreme Court Justices is invaluable.
So Adam's summer is shaping up to be like this: on Monday/Tuesday/Thursday, he'll be on campus for 3 classes and continuing to work part time on the computer project. On Wednesday/Friday, he'll be downtown at the Senate. It's not all in concrete yet, but that's what we're looking at right now.
Adam's plans are where all the excitement are right now. I'm doing the same ol' junk for conference prep. Registration and confirmation paperwork for speakers, putting together "issue binders" for 4 of the committees (Susan doesn't bother with them, for which I'm grateful because they're a complete pain in the butt), and other random things. The weather here has been GORGEOUS for the last week. Sunny, blue sky, cool and breezy in the morning but still warm enough to go without a jacket, warm in the afternoon with no humidity ... We braved the crowds yesterday after church and went down to the Jefferson Memorial to see the cherry blossoms. They were at peak the last 4 or 5 days. It's tough to be inside today.
