Week 1- An ATTEMPTED Summary.

Hi folks!

WOW. What a week it has been! I can positively say, I’ve NEVER experienced anything like it! I never knew my poor, fresh out of college, lethargic body could actually hack the whirlwind adventure that has been the past week! Or should I say, the whirlwind WIP timetable!

It has been an intense week but I enjoyed every minute of it. I never thought I’d say this but 6am starts and falling into bed at 10pm, crestfallen, has many advantages!:

1. you manage to visit most of the major sights of Washington in a few short days,
2. you manage to organise and produce a musical, theatrical and dance performance for a group of school children in the space of 24 hours,
3. you manage to form bonds and potential lifelong friendships with people you’ve never met before and whom who might not normally encounter,
4. you manage to meet a congressman, a famous speechwriter, a movie star (ive never been so excited to see a new Batman movie!), and a handful of other VIP’s from the DC “high society”,
5. you manage to become successfully adopted by a wonderful family, with a wonderful house and a singing dog,
6. and while you’re at it, you even manage to squeeze in making a speech at one of DC’s most famous venue’s!

As I said in my speech and I will say it again, that’s not bad for a wee girl from Longford!
