Where are we GOing?

The promise of the Georgetown One Card was enough to make all Georgetown students salivate.

She works hard for the money

Have you ever had a real job? I mean, an honest-to-goodness clock-in-clock-out here’s-your-company-polo-shirt job? I don’t think you have. I’m disappointed in you.
