I have to tell you all an awkward moment I had in my interview with Dr. Robinson, the director of HNGR. A little background on him--this was the prof our own Matt got into a debate with over whether you could be a Christian and a Republican. I think Dr. Robinson still doesn't think so. This is how it went:
Dr. Robinson: What else are you passionate about?
Elise: Well, my family is VERY political--we are constantly debating and throwing ideas at eachother, and so I grew up with a love for politics.
Dr. Robinson: (winks and says facetiously) Oh, and I bet your family are hard-core Republicans!
Elise: (silence) Um. Well. Um. Uh...
Dr. Robinson: (continues to laugh, not noticing Elise stumbling for how to keep from him that her family post pictures of Hillary making scary faces and call his favorite candidate Osama-Obama) I bet they're big Bushies at the Bryson household!
Elise: (recovers and smiles knowingly) Uh huh, they sure are...
So I didn't lie. But. Should I get into HNGR I'm sure at least at least dad will eventually meet him, and I'd appreciate it if you weren't wearing a Bush pin or anything...
Love you all.
