Farewell to interns
Today we are saying goodbye to a few of our interns here at Fight Club* and at the good bye party we had for the gaggle of them there was one that stood out. This guy was passionate and infectiously enthusiastic about what we do here. Infectiously enthusiastic. His love of history just constantly beamed unashamedly from his face and was expressed in his movements when he talked about being in DC and going to the other cultural institutions. When I saw him a day or so later I said, "Don't ever lose that enthusiasm." He plans to become a teacher.We've had a great batch of students this year. They were good natured, followed instructions, had a great interest in the work we did here, got along with each other, and tore through projects with amazing speed and accuracy.
*I'm just going to refer to the place I work as Fight Club or the Bureau of Fight Club, because the boss told me the 1st rule about Fight Club.

I like the Fight Club rule. Humorous and a good analogy.
Interns get a lot of flak and snark from bloggers, but it's the interns who finish all the work that we didn't do that we put off for an entire year.
Washington, DC always seems a bit emptier and less fun once the summer interns leave.
