Washington D.C.

I just went to Washington D.C. for the NSEP "Orientation and Convocation". It was okay. I was surprised to learn that there are indeed smart college students out there who understand that Georgia is a country as well as a state. I gotta say, meeting other scholarship recipients was by far the best part of the trip. Although there were no other students going to Georgia, I did meet some cool people, and I met one girl that was going to Kyrgyzstan on the Eurasian Regional Language program (the same program I'm going on).

As far as my study abroad goes, I actually learned very little. The orientation was basically a summarization of everything I had already learned in other orientations and classes, but they did put me in a nice hotel and I got to check out some of the nightlife in D.C. although it was very limited considering I'm only 20. Anyways, there's only two or so months until Georgia.

Ohh yeah, I also got to see two policeman pull their guns on some homeless person when I was touring downtown. I was only like 20 feet away. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera, so no pics...sorry.

Bored at Home

I'm going to Tbilisi, Georgia in September or August so I decided to make this to post pictures. I dont really have anything to say now because it's May, and I dont really know anything yet except that I have been accepted to the ACTR program and that I got the NSEP scholarship. But I'm putting down some pics now because I'm bored. The first is from the internet and the second is one of my friend's pics or vise versa actually.
