...political bubble, however, disappears as soon as I leave the office and head for my temporary home. There, the realities of a carless college student's life set in. I leave for work when my driver does; I don’t come home until an intern with car keys can. I have learned to buy just enough supplies at Target to get me through the week, and I have given up all hope of exploring the Twin Cities at my leisure.

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...
