4th of July and other updates

4th of July in DC was amazing! I volunteered at the museum in the morning and then met up with my roommates and my friend Jared in the afternoon. We ended up going to a house party with a bunch of friends of my roommate Rachel. We realized that the entire neighborhood had their backyard doors open, so we ended up just party hopping. We walked down for the fireworks at the mall and sat in front of the Washington Monument for them. They were awesome. Lots of people though, to walk there and back was over 4 miles, so I was a little tired by the end. We met a lot of new people down here. I met a lot of people from North Dakota, and one of them works for Sen. Tim Johnson so it was nice to talk to some people from home.

I had the rest of the weekend off - just enjoyed being in DC. Sunday, I went into historic Alexandria and grabbed dinner with a friend. Yesterday my friend Lauren and I hung around DuPont Circle and actually ran into the DC Real World crew! We were just talking about them and we turned a corner and saw them. Their house is in that neighborhood so I have a feeling that we will be seeing them a lot out when we go out - DC is not a large city.
