LAST FULL DAY

So, today was the last full day of WJMC. The things that stood out most to me were the visits to the Capital and the Gala. I really lucked out today and ended up going on a special tour with only a few people. Richard knew one of the security guards and was able to score us a special tour of rescricted areas and we were able to sit in the Gallary to watch the House of Representatives in secession. It was a really cool experience that I’ll never forget. I also LOVE going to the Gala. It was a really fun chance to let loose and have one last good night with everyone we’ve met at WJMC. I also loved dressing up and watching all the supervisors dance. That is an image I will never forget. I’ve really enjoyed my experiences at WJMC and made life-long memories.

As I got back from my day on Wednesday, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I experienced with C-SPAN and what I saw at the Holocaust museum. Getting to be on tv was a one in a life time experience. I’ve never been on tv before and I really enjoyed the Q and A secession with Brain Lamb. I wasn’t expecting much of the show, but I was presently suprised. The topic of discussing the role of journalism in todays world verses how it used to be was very interesting. I also really enjoyed the free time we had to visit in D.C. Even though I live in the Virginia area, I’ve never been to the Holocaust museum. What I saw at the museum was disturbing, but educational. I never knew that Hungarian peoples were taken into the concentration camps. I’m 1/2 Hungarian, so these exhibits hit me hard. I was able to understand what my people went through.

First Blog Ever

This is officially my first blog ever. Arriving here at George Mason today and meeting my color groups, roomies and leaders of the program has been exhausting and exciting. I’m extremely excited for whats to come of this week, becuase from the looks of how today went, I know I’ll learn a lot and have a great time. I think the best part of today was listening to the guest speaker Chris Cillizza. Not only did he dazzle me with his public speaking skills but he impressed me with his non-scripted speech about how he first started. Chris went into detail about how he started off not knowing where he was going and not having a set path. He speech inspired us to explore ourselves and our interests. I thought that was a very important and impressive lesson.
