I wrote that title with the tune to "Off to See the Wizard" in my mind. I am picturing myself as Dorothy, skipping down the Yellow Brick Road and singing gaily all the way (minus all the witch nonsense). Yes, I am off to see Vice President Joe Biden. The Vice President is coming to my school along with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geitner and Education Secretary Whatshisname Duncan for a Middle Class Task Force Event.
I couldn't be more excited. This is my first political event of my college career. Really it's my first political event of my life. And I hope it will be the first of many. Today the Vice President and Secretaries Gietner and Duncan will be talking about education, its importance and affordability. As a college student studying at this institution thanks to the generosity of financial aid and Johns Hopkins, this issue affects me directly.
I'll be back here later to post my thoughts and an overviews.
