Wrapping things up

So my time in DC is coming to a close. I have been busy saying good bye to people, figuring out how I am going to get back up to Jersey and just getting organized for the craziness that will be my senior year. I have had such a good time down here and have learned so much (don't worry there will be a few more posts so this isn't my good bye post yet). But my bestie Lauren as left me all alone here at Africa Action which makes me sad but I will live, I suppose. My roommate Kani leaves me tomorrow which is equally distressing. Yesterday my supervisor Rickie took me out to eat at a gorgeous restaurant on the Potomac I got to see the infamous Watergate, Georgetown Harbor and the Kennedy Center. I hadn't had the chance to explore that area of the city yet and it was so much fun to do it with Rickie (I hope I am as interesting as her when I am older - a former nun, former race car driver, all around badass woman)
