First days in Washington

For the first time writing from Washington DC! I have being here for four days, and this is the story.

The biggest load on my way to my new "home”
Imagine the fact of carrying a 45 lbs luggage, knowing nothing about how things work in a place. Even though I printed the bus and metro directions of how to get to Grosvenor Tower, the trip wasn’t easy. When I finally get to the building, there was a pizza party in the lobby where TWC student were breaking the ice. Afterwards I met my roommates, Ingrid a known friend from Mexico, and Sara and Erika, both Americans.

Media & Mass Communications Day
On this day I met the Media & Mass Communications program interns, and of course, Kathleen Reagen, my program advisor. We had 2 orientation sessions, to know our upcoming duties and assignments. It all seems like it is going to be a full-time semester. Then all international students had a meeting and then we Mexicans decided to go buy groceries for living.

Laughing at our differences
This day all interns assisted to the Orientation Session, where we had the chance to know:
· Michael B. Smith, President of TWC, who welcome all interns.
· Kevin W. Nunley, Director of Student Life at TWC, who gave us basic orientations.
· Kenny Bryson, officer of MPD, who gave us security advises.
· Josh Sundquist a comic who gave us a really good speech, called “Laughing at our differences”, if you ever have a chance to meet this guy, don’t doubt it.

Exorcist stairs
Remember the exorcist scene were the priest fell down from an infinite stairs? Well I was there! the movie was filmed in Georgetown, a very nice and important neighborhood, where you can go shopping, good restaurants, visit the Old Stone House and a very famous college, The Georgetown University. We spend the whole day in this place; we have fun, except for the fact that it was so cold this day, I couldn’t feel my hands, and my face.

Superbowl party
Steelers V.S. Cardinals, and a superbowl party in my building. Me and my roommates spend some time setting up stuffs in the apartment, and then we joined the party at 21 floor. It was another chance to know more people, next day is going to be the first at work, so wait for the other post to tell you everything about it.

Now, “The MOST or the EST” SECTION.

The most blessed
After arriving to the airport, I could get to Grosvenor tower because of the help of 4 really good persons, who help me get into the Grosvenor tower main entrance. I will never forget this.

The funniest
My roommate and I bought so many things on the grocery day, WHAT A MISTAKE!, carrying all the things back to home through metro and millions of blocks, was exhausting. I was wearing heals, I just couldn’t do nothing but laugh about it.

The coldest
On Saturday the weather was so cold, walking through Georgetown paths roads with a 22° F temperature, not feeling the hands and the face was indescribable.

Well, I hope you are all having a good time, I'll come back next week :)
