Shaverrhea!

In about five weeks I will leave for Washington DC to be part of the Washington Journalism Center. I’ll be taking classes and doing an internship this fall. This means I will leave behind all that I have known for the past three years to start fresh with new students from all over the country and different professors. This. Feels. Weird.

I’ve never been to Washington, so I honestly have no idea as to what I should expect. I have a handbook that tells me where everything is, but I know it will all change when I get there. However, the excitement has overshadowed my nerves. I will be in the political epicenter, where I may be interning at a publication that deals strictly with politics. I feel that this is the right move. I mean, I can see history in the making.

I will be taking as many photos as my camera allows me to. I am hoping to take photos of one thing–and I know this is strange–but I’d love to get a few shots of a ridiculous protest around the town. Just to capture that emotion on a photo would be brilliant to me.

I know this next semester is also going to be one of the most intense things I’ve ever experienced. The exciting thing is that I won’t have any tests–that means I have to kick butt on my papers I do write though.  Thank God I love to write!

Anyways, I will post everything I can as time gets closer….and when I verify my internship, I will let ya know where I am going to be at. Shalom All!
