**White House Intern Journal Entry**
**Date: March 17, 1973**
Dear Journal,
Today was another busy day here at the White House! I can hardly believe that I, a mere intern, get to witness history happening right before my eyes! Things have been a bit crazy lately, especially with everything happening with President Nixon and the Watergate situation. Honestly, it's a lot for me to keep up with!
This morning, I overheard Mr. Haldeman talking about how they needed to do some damage control after the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters last year. People have been whispering about how some of Nixon's aides might have done some bad stuff. It sounds really serious, like something out of a spy movie! I even heard some staff members discussing the possibility of impeachment. That means the President could be removed from office, which sounds wild.
One of the most significant events happening is when the Senate Watergate Committee began their hearings. This is where they are investigating everything that’s going on. Every day, reporters are swarming the building trying to get information, and it’s like a scene out of a drama! I can't even imagine what it must be like for the senators trying to get to the bottom of this.
As an intern, I get to see the reactions of the people working here. Some are really worried; it's fascinating to see how tense everything has become in just a few months! It's like everyone is on edge, not knowing what the next news cycle will bring. I think the most significant event so far has to be the testimony from former White House aides, because it really seems to be opening up a lot of eyes to what was happening behind the scenes.
As for whether Nixon should be impeached, I’m not sure. On one hand, it seems like if he did something wrong, he should be held accountable. But he’s also the President, and I know a lot of people still support him. I can see both sides, and it’s confusing. I guess I think that if he really did break the law or if he lied about something serious, then maybe it would be right for him to face those consequences.
Well, I better get back to my duties before I get in trouble! I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Until next time,
[Your Name]
