Hey all,

Today, my cousin and I went to Harper's Ferry. It's a national park with an old, historic town in the middle of it. The town is located right where the Potomac River and Shenandoah River meet up. Surrounded by pretty, green foresty mountains, Harper's Ferry was quaint, scenic and educational. The drive there was kind of chaotic because we didn't really know where we were going, but it was it worth it in the end. The area was gorgeous--the pictures I took will be on Facebook soon. For more information on Harper's Ferry, go to their detailed website. Lots of important happenings went down there many years ago. Overall, a must see for anyone traveling through WVA.

Yesterday, we capped off our last Saturday night in town by heading out to Adams Morgan. We went to this bar called "Madams Organ" (haha), which was pretty cool. They had a live band and three different bars; needless to say, we all had a pretty good time. The place kind of reminded of the Sig house at Southwestern-- a little run down, kind of random, loud and very crowded. But, it made for a good time nonetheless.

I now find myself ridiculously close to the end of this semester. I will be home in a mere five days. That's pretty crazy. I've probably said this before, but time sure has flown by here. It's such a busy, fast paced city that you kind of forget that the days are coming and going. It will be interesting to live outside the bubble, in a city where people do not constantly live and breathe politics. I think life will seem a great deal slower and less hectic back in Texas. Should be interesting to see if I prefer that pace of living. Also, I look forward to being the "political nerd" again, and not just another person, haha.
