Finally Here!

The View from Our Airplane

After a quick flight from Boston, we have finally arrived in D.C.!

This is the view as we flew into Reagan International Airport.  I am surprised we could fly so near the monuments, but it was great to see them from above.

Right now, we are settling into our rooms…all in anticipation of the event tomorrow. Tonight, all of the students from the sister colleges who are attending the Women in Public Service inaugural  event will meet at a reception.  This will be an amazing opportunity to make new friends and share conversations about the need for women in public service with fellow students.  Hopefully these connections will last and we can continue to cooperate together as women colleges in the future and in our professional lives.

After spending this past summer in D.C., it is good to be back.  I hadn’t realized how much I missed being in this fast-paced, political environment.  It is making me strongly consider moving to D.C. after I graduate the more time I spend here.

But enough for tonight.  We are planning on going to sleep early and being ready for the exciting day that lies ahead.
