In my last blog I was nervous about my trip home and whether or not I would find my way. Well, I am happy to say it was a success! I was relieved because there were no delays on the metro, so I made it to my shuttle stop with plenty of time. From the shuttle, I got to the airport with at least two hours to spare. On the way home, I took a different route. From the airport I took a shuttle to the train station, which then took me to union station. From union station, I took the metro home. Before being in Washington, I never relied on public transportation to take me to and from school. I realized there are numerous ways to travel, and it is not that expensive. It was a learning experience because I had to relatively determine when I should leave school and what time I should schedule my connecting transportation. When you have not taken the train or shuttles before, it can be hard to determine how much time to leave in between each means of transportation. But, luckily like I said I was successful and had a great trip home! I guess with practice and experience traveling to and from D.C. is not so bad!
Being back at American was difficult today because I felt as though I needed a longer vacation. I miss home already, but I am excited to see what is ahead in both my seminar and internship. This week we were already assigned to attend another hearing. After this hearing we are required to write an observation paper within a week. This paper is not too difficult because it describes your personal experience of the hearing, but because I have work for my research project it might be difficult to balance this work. I have a significant amount of work to do on my research project, and I want to do the best that I can in seminar, so I hope that I manage my time well. Now that I am back, adjusted, and ready to work again, I am ready for the challenges up ahead!
