Okay everyone sorry I have been lax on the postings, I have three to give you to. So this is the first, just a general update about my weeked. Friday evening was rather nasty, we even had a tornado warning. It was rather serious, which I found unexpected, considering I did leave Tornado Alley. To avoid worrying my mother and because it was raining I just stayed in and hung out with Abi and a few other friends in her room and chatted.
Saturday, well I was rather tired, so I spent the morning doing some homework for my program, and organizing papers to make sure that I had everything I needed. Mostly it was just writing a reflection on my first week and a half of living in DC and the new opportunities that I can get. Once I completed that I finished Part 1 of my IDP (Individual Development Plan) which is a fancy way of saying what I hope to get from this program and internship. Later in the afternoon I spent time with Burke and played some video games.
As for Sunday, well a group of us got together to explore Chinatown. Abi and Tina had never been out there yet so we figured it would be a good opportunity. We took the Metro out there which is a quick ride, only two stops between ours and Chinatown. Anyways we decided to get lunch at a Chinese restaurant because Abi had never had Chinese food before. We chose a place called Tony Cheng's. Apparently it's rather famous because the restaurant had a wall of photos of rather famous people, although they were all older, the one I recognized was Bill Clinton. After lunch we wandered around a little bit, and then got a quick Rita's again because Abi has never had it, and we figured it would be a good dessert for her since she is lactose intolerant. Following a long day of walking we returned to the RAF and all went to our rooms respectively to get some rest in before Monday and our first programming.
