In the last two weeks I have since moved to Taylor Steet NE Washington DC and got to know 17 new people, 15 of which I am living under the same roof as me. Talk about excitement, thrills, chills, annoyances, stress and laughter. Overall, a wonderful experience. I'm taking one class at Trinity University, a journalism class. What better city to be located in than my Nations Capital.
Our first week was nothing but orientation, and we sure were exhausted at the end of each day. I'd have to say that the canoe trip down the Anacostia River was the highlight of the week. It was fun to laugh it up with my fellow housemates and Prof. Kim. If anyone knows the history of the Anacostia River, you maybe asking why in the world were we floating down that nasty river. We were lead by the Anacostia Watershed Society. They are trying to clean up the river. It's a struggle, but a working progress. It was a very interesting time.
I started class last week, as I said above, I'm taking a class at Trinity University, an all womens college. I sat in my class looking around and was wondering why I didn't just attend an all girls school to begin with? I may not have done as bad my first two years.....but we will never know, and of course, I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't chose EMU.
Being that this is my last and final semester of my college career, I know not a better way to spend it than with 15 people and one amazingly inspirational professor in the great city of Washington DC. My first two weeks have been full of stresses, laughter, education, the whole works. Thank goodness for my 4 1/2 great years at EMU. I have learned that through mistakes that i have made, something good came from it, even it meant a hardship. I look forward to the next 3 1/2 months.
