It's sad, but it's true. Since I recently graduated from college and now have friends scattered across the country, I decided to start a blog which will hopefully help me stay in contact with everyone and, knowing me, give me a place to rant about whatever. Feel free to make fun.
Just to give everyone who doesn't know the basic information about what I'm doing now, here we go: I just graduated from Princeton this June with an B.A. in philosophy and am now living in Springfield, Virginia. Yes, I know it's the South, but it's close enough to DC I try not to think about it.
I've been working technically since April (but full-time only since June) as Campaign Manager for Jeff McKay's run to become the next Lee District Supervisor in Fairfax County. Fairfax has a Board of Supervisors, which is just the executive body of the County, and each magisterial district within the County elects one member to the Board. Jeff is currently the Chief of Staff to the incumbent Supervisor, Dana Kauffman, but since Dana is retiring this year, Jeff is running for his seat as Lee District's member of the Board. Since it's an open seat and we have a Republican opponent (as opposed to some random independent), it should be a fairly interesting race. Luckily for me (and the candidate), Jeff is heavily favored to win and realistically should come out with a fairly wide margin of victory come November 6th. If you're at all interested, our campaign website is www.mckay4supervisor.com.
The election is in 2007, meaning it's only about 3 months away. Once Jeff wins his seat (knock on wood!), I'll probably find a job somewhere in the DC/Northern Virginia area and stay here at least through August of 2008. After that, my guess is I'll end up in law school--who knows where.
Other than that, there's not much new going on. I've moved into a real apartment in the Rose Hill area of Lee and am just getting settled into my new home (if you're nearby, feel free to visit).
