...intersession trip to New York, I discovered Pinkberry. On a trip to Miami, I ran across Blissberry. And a few weeks ago, I gave Red Mango a try and watched as a fellow intern innocuously asked an employee about the Pinkberry across the street...
Each day, my ride starts at the Winston Group, a Republican polling firm whose motto is “making ideas matter.” As an intern, I’ve learned that ideas are stubborn little things, which require hours of staring at spreadsheets to matter. But we’re making them for an important client, the GOP. With polls and focus groups, we help our candidates hear people’s concerns: gas prices, health care, jobs.

...Meet P.D., wearer of sunglasses indoors and purveyor of such inscrutable bits of wisdom as "you can't shit a shitter." P.D. was one of the first interns I met.

After giving the first presentation of the summer to our intern class, she loudly gabbed to a friend about the eager (read: brown-nosing and naïve) young interns, realizing only moments later that I was sitting 10 feet away. When N.W. noticed me, she smiled disarmingly, introduced herself, shook my hand, and moved right on. She can be cloying when she wants but appears to have...
