Almost done in DC!

I'm in my last four days in DC...I have an interview with the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations on Friday, and then my boyfriend is coming. We are picking up one of my hosts at the airport on Saturday, and then heading back to Michigan on Sunday. Classes begin the 31st; I'll have just over a week to finish up summer activities...and then back to the glory that is the academic semester!

Udall Scholars Orientation

I am in Tucson, Arizona for the next few days, participating in the Scholars Orientation of the Udall Foundation. It is environmental hippy heaven over here! Flying into Arizona reminded me of how much I miss the desert...it's nice to see the mountains and the sand! The next few days are crammed with speakers, workshops, and group chats about ways to mobilize. It's going to be quite the whirlwind...so here we go!
