Victoria Blog

Ok so today was pretty awesomeley wowley amazingly awesome because I laughed so much and got to see a lot of new things and realized that making a blog dealing with something I liked would be really intriguing (came to this conclusion after the “separate groups speakers”.)

 

So this morning (which started very early yet again) began with the speaker Chuck Todd, the NBC Chief White House Correspondent, who talked about three different elements of journalism: recording facts, analysing, and commentary. He described how it was better to be there “on the ground” than getting second-hand news. It was really cool to hear about his trips with Obama and how he had hung out with him at an Allstars game the night before. Then the absolutely amazing Dean Flagel who I just happen to respect and admire so much came on to talk about admissions in to college and how to prepare for it. He was sooo funny and totally pumped me up even though I was tired. I thought he was amazing and it was very informative to hear about what an actual Dean of Admission had to say about getting in to colleges. I found it extremely useful and I’m so glad that I got to hear what he had to say because he brought very vital infortmation and made it humorous.  Then we went to the mall which was nice and I got a few souvenirs, but I wanted to get the Entertainment magazine but we had to leave so I was kind of sad. :[

 

Ok so then we went to the Capitol which I have to say is gorgeous but it was very hot outside and after a while my feet started to hurt, but it was sooooo nice inside!! When we got our tour it was very interesting to listen to what our tour guide had to say about the building and I took a million pictures of like the same thing because I was so excited to actually be there. Taking a picture of the beautiful building was great and I got to be in them so of course that was great.

 

So from the bus ride home till about now (12 a.m.) I have been laughing at about everything and I love everyone about 20 times more. I love my little “pentagon” and our camera takers are good too. :] So after dinner (which had me laughing to tears) we went off into our separate group speakers. We went to the e-journalism guy who I thought was soo interesting because it really made me want to make a blog writing about entertainment or history. He was very informative and he was succesful with his blog so it was somewhat inspiring. Then I hung out with this one group of amazing people and we played pool and sat outside with laptops. And then I went to another group and talked to them and then I went to another group and we listened to music so that was pretty fun. I’m super tired but today was amazing and I loved it. Sweet. :]
