Just a Week Left!!!

This is my last work week! I can hardly believe it! It feels like just yesterday I wrote my first blog entry. I am working on finishing up my projects for my portfolio this week while juggling all my other work. We have to turn in this huge portfolio next week that describes what we have been doing for the past 4 months at our internship. I have gotten a good start on it all so hopefully it will be set for Monday.

Since I am done with work after Friday I am going to be enjoying my last few days here next week. I need to start packing all my clothes up and shipping some of it home!!

This past weekend I went to DC with three of my roommates and my friend from Alma and Kala's friend from Alma.
We visited all the monuments and did some shopping in Georgetown. We also went to the Natural History Museum and the American History Museum. There was a Climate Rally going on too when we were there and we stopped by for a bit to listen to it! Below are pictures....

We made it to the mall:)

Heather and I love the EARTH!


The classic Philly pic had to be taken!

So I will be home a week from Sunday! I am excited to see everyone and be home. Although saying goodbye to people here will be sad. I'll just have to live up my last week in Philly!
I can't wait for the summer to start! It is only days away:)

Sunny Days and a Family Visit!

I know that I am a few weeks behind on my blog...oops. I guess I have just been so busy.

At work over the last few weeks I have been working a bunch of different projects and I have had the opportunity to attend a few meetings at other hotels. It has all been so interesting and I am learning different things everyday.

One Saturday a friend and I planned a scavenger hunt for a bunch of friends around the city. We even made it a bit like the show The Amazing Race where they had to go to specific places to receive their next clues. 14 people came and participated! Below is a picture of everyone in front of the North American Building where we have class!

For Easter my roommate and I went to the Easter Parade that was taking place a block from our apartment. It was a very short parade but we took a few pictures.

Gretchen and I at the Easter Parade!

The past few weekends I have been enjoying the sun and hanging out outside!

This turtle was walking past when we were reading at the park. He is the FASTEST moving turtle I have ever seen!

This past weekend my parents visited with Brian and we had a great time! We went to a Philadelphia Union Soccer Game on Saturday night. The Philadelphia Union is a new team to Philadelphia. We went to their first home game that was held at the Philadelphia Eagles Football Stadium. Below are a few pictures!

Oh and Joe Biden was there!!!
