As my DC adventure is starting, I am restarting my blog for the summer. The only purpose of my blogging is so that curious family and friends can read and follow what I am up to. I am considering blogging in English over the summer since I believe there are some friends who would like to follow the blog that don’t speak Swedish?! I also believe that my Swedes would still understand. But this would only be worth it if my English speaking friends would actually visit the blog. Please post a comment/contact me so I know if it is a good idea.

I left Marquette this morning. Four years of undergraduate studies are over, and I have had the time of my life. What an adventure it has been. I am so lucky I got the chance to come over here to combine school with skiing. I still remember the day I stepped out of the plane in Marquette, and how nervous and curious I was. Little did I know what wonderful place I had gotten to and what amazing people I would meet, and how I would make memories and friends that I today know will stay with me throughout my whole life. Saying goodbye was very difficult, but I have a feeling I will be back quite soon. 

Tomorrow is an introduction day at the Washington Center and Tuesday is my first day as an int
ern at the IAWJ International Association of Women’s Judges). I will also take a class in International Human Rights through the Washington Center, do a civic engagement project (ideas anyone), and make an academic portfolio. The Washington Center also weekly presents speakers/visits for us and I believe I am going to the Egyptian Embassy on Thursday.

I have met my roommates and gotten to my apartment today, both apartment and roommates are really nice, I don’t have a blanket or a pillow however but I am planning on taking care of that tomorrow.

Also I got a niceamera from my family for graduation, something I always dreamt of having.I am trying to figure the camera out, still lots to learn but SO FUN.
