Washington D.C.



Here is the group! Chris Davey (the Professor), Me, Ang, Randi, Brooke, & Tyler.

I had a blast in DC! I took nearly 700 pictures, which is pretty insane. I tried to arrange some of the pictures all neatly for this post, but it didn't really work. Plus it took forever, so I'm just going to leave them how they are. I'll blog about the trip more later.

Have a Super Sonic Day

I just got home from the movie theater, where I saw The Adjustment Bureau. I went with Miss Cali & Miss Angie. It was a pretty good movie, all in all. Pretty adorable in the end, really. I am a sucker for that type of movie! In the last few weeks I have seen The Kings Speech, 127 Hours, & Tangled. All pretty great movies.

Well me & part of my Genocide class are heading to Washington D.C. this Wednesday. I am pretty darn excited. I have never been to D.C. & can't wait to get there. It'll be interesting to travel with a group from school. Especially since we are all getting there at different times, staying in different places, & just all meet at the Holocaust Museum Thursday morning. Hopefully I'll get around town okay! I plan on taking a ton of pictures & keeping my blog updated. We'll see how that goes!

Also, Monday morning I interview with the International Study Center at school. I signed up for the Northern Ireland Study Abroad Program for this summer. I am not too nervous to interview since they told us it is basically a formality. If you signed up & paid, you are going. It still doesn't seem very real to me. I've never even left the country! Now I'm going to go live in Ireland for a month. Crazy! I am super excited. It is such an amazing opportunity, & I am grateful for the opportunity to travel with the Peace & Justice Studies Department. I am also excited because my sister, Angie, is coming too. We are both working on a Peace & Justice minor & are incredibly lucky to be able to do this together (I hope she feels the same way!).

Let's see... What else? Well, school is going great & I really am enjoying the semester. Oh! And, not only am I going to D.C. & Ireland this year, but me & the fam are going to Hawaii in October. I am way excited about that. That means, this year I will go to three states I have never been to (Virginia, Maryland, & Hawaii) & to another country. Hooray for a year of traveling! That's about it! I'll try & be a bit better at keeping you posted!
