Day 7- The End... sorta (03/12/10)
Firstly, I’d like to give a short explanation as to why I didn’t post a blog yesterday.. Long story short… I was in the Holocaust Museum and had my water bottle in my bag. Apparently the top wasn’t on all the way… and water leaked ALL over EVERYTHING! My laptop is having slight issues, and my metro ticket and cash were soaked. I had a long walk home! haha. Anyway,...
Day 5- Dinner Time! (03/10/10)
So, my two other German roommates, Evelyn and Simon, left this morning. Although, I do plan to keep in touch with them. I haven’t met my new roommates yet, but I did meet some new people downstairs in the kitchen. I had dinner with two British guys, one French Canadian girl, and one Austrian/Japanese guy. We all spoke English with each other, but a few of them knew German, and I spoke some...
Workin' hard to get my fill... (03/09/10)
Everybody wants a thrill! Well, today has once again been a VERY productive day. Sorry it’s taken me so long to post today’s blog… just one of those days. Today, I arrived at the museum and was allowed to view the Sant Ocean Hall before the public. Giants squids, huge bones of ancient fish, and so many more fossils. I also got free donuts today! :D YAY! Thanks to Mary Sangrey,...
Let the work begin! Day 3 (03/08/10)
Hello all! Today I started my internship! Believe it or not, I WAS on time! Ok.. I did go to the wrong entrance initially, but other than that, everything went well. There are 3 other girls interning with me. Two actually go to school in Indiana (Butler and Notre Dame). The other girl goes to school in PA. I’ve learned the quick and hard way how to read maps… and I mean READ maps, not...
Day 2! (03/07/10)
Well! Today has been a VERY successful day. I’ve already posted some of the pictures that I’ve taken today. There are MANY more pictures… but tumblr will only let me upload so many at one time. haha. I had a great time yesterday evening. I played monopoly with my new french friends, and I got decimated! Nonetheless, I had an amazing time putting my French to good use. I plan to...
Day 1- WOW! (03/06/10)
Oh, where to start?! I’m completely overwhelmed, in an amazing kind of way! I’m currently sitting in my youth hostel with a group of students from Paris! They are eating dinner, while I drop some eaves! (French is my minor). This evening, I met a guy from Germany, and we walked around D.C. together. I’ve already visited the Washington Monument, White House, the Capitol, and...
T - 1 Day! (3/5/10)
Tomorrow is the BIG day! I will be leaving my house around 8 a.m. (assuming I get up on time). First stop, Nashville Airport. My parents are taking me there, but after that, I’m on my own! I’m definitely a bit nervous; I’ve never flown by myself before. I still have to pack tonight… which I’ll probably put off. haha. Just to give you guys an idea of where I’ll...
