I made it to DC last night after going through the Pittsburgh airport, home to two very loud, obnoxious little girls whose favorite word was booty and whose mother, well, thought it was hilarious that her daughters were so loud and rolling on the ground while running into other passengers. Needless to say, mr. xanax made an appearance. I got a taxi all by myself and today, I rode the metro alone and successfully made it to the correct stop. Whoop whoop.
Short meetings this morning, lunch from whole foods, and a rendezvous with Ashley who took me on a driving tour through some neat DC neighborhoods and to Georgetown cupcakes, where I went with the vanilla squared. It was delish. It was great to see her and I get to come back to Charleston as a guest speaker after Jamaica, which will be fan freaking tastic but I am sure I will feel confused being a speaker and not a student.
Just hanging out in the hotel room now until 5:30 when we go to dinner - I could go out walking, but I may try to sneak in a little nap. The others were hitting the mall and we are going to hit as many museums as possible over the next few days. It's great being with a crowd of people who are as excited about museums as I am.
Getting more and more excited for Jamaica - while the others are going to Sweden and Ireland, it makes me feel good when Gareth and I say we are going to Jamaica and everyone goes "oooh." I know this experience will teach me a lot about myself, others, my surroundings, and I know I will grow so much from this. I am just ready to get there and get settled and tack up that mosquito net. Anyone who wants me to send them stuff will be able to find my address on here once I know it. Care packages, postcards, love letters, etc are appreciated and will likely be reciprocated.
Well the travel channel and nap time calls me....
