Being a part of History

Ohmigod, its so amazing to be here in DC for history! We have the tv on and i'm listening to all the things going on around us right now. I feel very much a part of the change I strive to be in the world, at this moment. I am very proud to have made the choices I have made and am making. .

We are so set for this fundraising trip. We have so many stores, we are having trouble fitting them all in in two weeks. By 'stores', I mean that we stand in front of grocery stores or wal-mart's or Sam's Club's with sign and buckets. We make lots of friends and lots of money and give away lots of lolly pops:) At night, I am working, successfully, at getting us clubs and pubs to make money at where we essentially do the same thing we do at stores except when people drink, they are more generous. Not to worry all you worriers, I am equipped with meetings and support from my team when we have to go out at night. I have sent out a few emails to meet with local artists to see the underground culture here and have had a couple of responses. I am ready to tag things....mmwahahaha.

At the moutain, we just said goodbye to Line, one of the staff and my friend Kabriele has come back from Brasil, and two new teams are about to start, one for Brasil and one for Africa. I love being at the mountain still, with all its drama. I had a roommate for two weeks, Hee-Jin from Korea but she leaves for Zambia the day before we come back from DC with two million dollars (we have it all worked out you see, one dollar from each person here). I will miss her, she and Na Young and Misoeb and I became friends and now they will leave...except MiMi. I have changed my project from Child Aid in Zambia to TCE in Mozambique for one year. It is going to be more difficult and I have accepted this and am doing the work to discipline myself. I am excited to be learning Portuguese again, this was one thing I really wanted to do and have decided to take up French again after Portuguese. I see myself in Parisian territory soon so it will be helpful, but of course not before Ireland:)

George, my portuguese teacher is teaching me how to play the African drum. Josh and I are learning together and having oh-so-much-fun. I'm playing on the steering wheel all the time now and totally messing it up but less and less each day. Drawing is going well, Kabi is showing me things and I am drawing everyday, currently learning about perspective. Ooh, I'm reading a book on how to make documentary films and reality videos so maybe I can film about nessecary things throughout my travels to educate people in amazing and fun ways. I bought a digi camera to start 'documenting'. I will post pictures up on this blog and I hope to get feedback from my fans. JJ, its slowly starting to come together, you would be proud, and its not at all what I thought it would be:)

Umumumumumum, I think this is it for today. Tomorrow is going to be AMAZING!!!!!!!
