There was something about clicking my heels through the Rayburn building trying to find the office of Congressman James Walsh which made me think back to my Government and Politics classes in school.
This time last year I was about to sit my Alevel Government & Politics exam and had a 'conditional' offer from the University St Andrews which I was hoping to turn into 'unconditional' based on the hard work I was putting into that exam. Fast forward a year later: I have completed my first year in the 'bubble' of the University of St Andrews and was walking down the corridors where bills I studied last year were debated and discussed. It was nice to think my hard work had paid off. It was the strangest feeling walking past the lines of flags outside each office of people I had written about and quoted.
Just as I turned the corner to what should have been the 25th Congressional District Office I was faced with a dead end.
That was a quick bump back to earth- apparently I can't read signs...
