Technical problems
I cannot only blame it on technology problems, but that is definately one of trhe biggest reasons for the extreem delay on updates. Since I am officialy graduating thses days, I no longer have a NMU laptop, so I am computerless. We also lost internet in our appartment over a week ago, and before that we had a major storm/tornado that resulted in a 4 day power outage.
I had my last day of my internship today. It has been an interesting and motivating summer and I have learned a lot. I have also made some great frineds that I hope I will stay in touch with.
The last few weeks Grace and I helped our Human Rights director with editing of a paper she was writing for UNIFEM. It turned out great, and it was a really cool project to be a part of.
I also did my lobbying in Congress for our FGM project this past tuesday. Matt and I went to the offices of 16 different members of Congress. It was really cool, and we got to speak directly with two members. Bachman from Minnesota (teaparty bachman) and Honda from California. One congresswoman have already decided to cosponsor the bill because of our visit. Great experience!
I have had program events at the state department and World bank, I finished my portfolio.
I did many more cool things, but the trash is right outside of the computer room, and I might throw up if I sit here any longer.
Tomorrow I am heading to Wyoming...
