Egyptian Embassy
Work is going well, yesterday Grace (the other intern) and I researched for possible future grants. This morning we started working on updating the membership list. There are currently over 4,000 IAWJ members worldwide!
When going to lunch I got yelled at in the overcrowded elevator by a lady who accused me of standing in her way and obstructing her view, she kept yelling even after I said I was sorry and that I hadn't realized that I had done anything wrong. It was a crowded elevator for Christ sakes! Thankfully, there was also a very nice guy on the elevator, who stood up for me saying that I obviously hadn't purposely done anything to offend her, and that I had done nothing wrong.
This afternoon we had a TWC program event at the Egyptian Embassy where Amr Ramadan, Deputy Chief of Mission (the guy right below the Ambassador) spoke to us. It was super interesting! He spoke about Egyptian history and their relations with the US. Other Issues that were brought up were terrorism, the Gaza conflict and others. It was super interesting.
This is at the embassy with some new friends and DCM Ramadan.
After work I went for a short but fast run, it feels great to work out, thanks Ingy for motivating me. At my run I bumped into a road full of ROADBIKERS, I happened to run by some men who were fixing a flat and they told me about the Potomac Peddlers, a DC area bike club who ride several times a week both weekends and weeknights. YAY!
