And now starts the forum madness!! From here on out, I will be meeting weekly to listen to Presidential and Congressional Lectures given by many different people. On Monday, I am attending a Graduate School Admissions Seminar and a Presidential Lecture given by Ambassador Ronen Sen (India) at the Department of the Interior.

This weekend, my boyfriend and I visited the Georgetown area. We went to the National Cathedral and witnessed a wedding. The cathedral was beautiful!! And the weather was perfect for strolling through Olmsted Forest and the Bishop’s Gardens. I was disappointed that I had forgotten my camera in my apartment.

We later visited Georgetown University. It is so close to the main drag, but yet secluded by quiet neighborhoods. The actual classrooms, which I snuck a look at, were normal-looking rooms, and I was amazed to see that Western seemed extremely more modern and advanced. These buildings were built a long time ago and were probably the same classrooms that were taught in decades and decades ago.

The Potomac boardwalk was very enjoyable as well. We ate right on the river and watched all the airplanes and “United States of America” helicopters fly by.

Last week, I was still settling into my job and getting more and more projects. I was actually busy by Friday, so I know it only gets worse from here on! Another busy summer!
