Fun Photos
Here are some photos from my life as a student. These are just some fun shots on campus and around the city. No hard journalism here! As you might guess there a stories that go along with many of these pictures. A lot of these photos were shot as our time was winding down when […]
Back in Greenville
As you may have concluded, I am done with my summer in DC. After my graduation at Georgetown on Friday, my family and I made our way back Greenville with a stopover in Virginia to see family. I had a hard time keeping up with my blog in DC, so in the next week I […]
Wrapping Up
Yesterday, I began the process of saying goodbyes for the week. My roommate, Jake, left Wednesday morning to go to a student legislature conference. Jake and I developed a close friendship over the summer, so it was sad to see him head back west. Tonight I will start packing my belongings to come home. It […]
Fight the Fare Increase
At the beginning of this month the Washington MTA enacted a fare hike for subway and bus transportation. The base fare went from $1.20 to $1.35. Unfortunately I was too busy at the time to protest, go on a hunger strike, or even get seriously annoyed.
Greenville Visitors
Thursday was a great day. For the first time this summer, I had visitors from Greenville. Actually, the excitement began Wednesday evening when my dad arrived in town so that he could make it to a Thursday morning meeting. I spent the night with him at the Capital Hilton, which gave me access to a […]
BJ Connections
One thing that makes DC unique is that it manages to keep a small city feel despite its size. I love that I often see friends and fellow interns as I work around the city. More than once I have run into tourists multiple times in different parts of the city. Last Sunday I had […]
Future Leaders
Monday night as I was making supper someone prank-knocked on my apartment door. My kitchen is in the front of the apartment, so it didn’t take me long to open the door. As l looked up the stairs that pass my apartment I saw the perpetrators fleeing. The jokesters were high schoolers who are at […]
Father’s Day
Sunday I went with Eric, a friend from BJ, to Falls Church, VA, to try to track down a Bible Presbyterian Church he had seen in a directory. After exiting the Falls Church station we found the main road and began walking toward the church. Strike that. We began walking away from the church thinking […]
First Weekend
My first weekend since arriving at Georgetown came and went quickly. I was thankful for the change of pace. I didn’t fulfill my all of ambitious plans for the weekend, but I was glad to catch up on some things. I cleaned and organized my apartment and was able to do some cooking. I was […]
Café Milano
A couple nights ago I went to Ben and Jerry’s with my apartment-mates. While we were ordering our ice cream we heard that Hillary and Chelsea Clinton were just down the street at the Café Milano. I had my camera with me, and my roommates and I decided that this was too good an opportunity […]
