End of the Semester

It is the last day of April, with two days left of work there is so many great memories and experiences to look back on. My Foreign Policy Professor had the class do some sort of theater works based on our internships and class sessions-- so we decided to do charades...very funny and a little awkward when Maisch went up himself and acted out a couple funny scenes we had written down. Some example were getting coffee for your supervisor on the hill or falling asleep in class or making fun of Professor Maisch and his ridiculous sayings with his peruvian accent. For example, he always called us ""sleepyheads" or "siesta monsters" and called himself "a tropical bird" or our "friendly frustrated latin american dictator." By the end, it was well, entertaining (but really annoying). His sense of humor is crazy, like the time he jumped out from a building with a mask on when he tricked us into thinking we were seeing an Ambassador speak but really we were having a picnic in the park.

Then all the funny people in my class- the foreigners...the three Germans with their thick accents, the frenchman who thought France was the best, the funny Bulgarian, the innocent and sweet guy from Sweden who always sought peace, and the quiorky guy from Afghanistan and the amazing politician from Senegal. Everyone was so genuine and really made this semester interesting and spicy.

From Obama speaking at a rally at AU and Ashley Judd at the Women Development conference, Richard Gere at the Tibetan hearing on the hill and with Ricky Martin, who I saw yesterday, launch a campaign against trafficking in DC and in Latin America, at the Inter-American Development Bank-- I am so lucky to see so much excitment.

What a great end of the semester...there are so many opportunities and great things about DC..I will definitely return!
