Internship Opportunity
I have an opportunity to intern at the Nixon Presidential Library in California this summer (June to August)! How neat would that be?? I don’t have all the details yet, but my goodness.. what an experience that would be.
Obama’s Address to Congress
Click here to view the transcript of Obama’s remarks to Congress. Usually, I provide the transcript itself on my blog, it’s LONG.

Rant
What a week! Actually, January in general has been a-not-so-great month for us. But first of all, I want to wish my brother, Ayaz, a very happy 24th birthday! January 1st – on the way back from my cousin’s house after his anniversary party, we barely avoided what could have been a very horrendous accident, …
