Friday I finished up my exams, and with help from my parents packed a good portion of my earthly possesions into the trunk of our Corolla. Around 6:30 we headed north to VA where we spent the night with dad’s mom (“G-mom”). Saturday morning we met my brother and sister-in-law (John & Darla) and drove into Washington DC.
John guided us to Georgetown effortlessly, and (with some effort) we found my dormitory. I am now registered, oriented, and fully moved in. For the next two months I will reside in a bi-level apartment with three other students. We have a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms with bunk beds, and in-room internet access.
I’m looking forward to getting to know the other students in the Institute. Already I have enjoyed reading through our orientation materials and learning more about my classmates. The students come from a variety of places and have landed internships with some interesting organizations.
We don’t begin our regular schedule until Tuesday, so I look forward to having a little time to get my bearings before we get going full speed.
