Hello guys,
this week was amazing! As I said on Sunday, I went to D.C., because they provided every CBYX student with a Civic Education Week this year. So on Monday we went to the Newseum and then had an Orientation walk around Capitol Hill and took a lot of pictures even though it started to snow in between. We also went to the botanical gardens and the Roosevelt Memorial. On Tuesday we visited the State Department and after a conversation we did a diplomacy simulation on refugees. After that we went to the Smithsonian museum of African American Culture and History and had lunch there as well. Then we went to see the Jefferson, Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. Memorials and went to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. Afterwards we went to the Verizon Center and watched the NBA game Washington Wizards vs. New York Knicks. As we got home we had another workshop to prepare us for the next day. Wednesday was mainly our Capitol Hill Day where we had meetings with Senate and House members or their staff. In between I also went to the library and the capitol and it was so impressive! Then we went to the National Gallery of Art and got to see the White House. We went to a mall for dinner and had an hour for shopping. We went to the Air Force Memorial and when we got back to the hotel (in Arlington, Virginia) we went straight to bed. On Thursday morning we first had workshops and then went to the Smithsonian museum for American History. After that we went to the Ronald Reagan building and after eating lunch we had a interview or conversation with 3 people over current issues. Then we went back to the hotel and had final workshops and 1.5 hours of free time to get our stuff together for the next day. After that we had a final dinner and a disco which was amazing, I enjoyed it so much!❤ On Friday I had to get up at 3am. because the bus left at 4am. Our plane was supposed to leave at 8:45am but we got moved to a 6:45 one. Another girl which I got really close to was on this flight so we were able to change seats and sit together! In Dallas we had to wait for our flight but we were back in Joplin by 2pm. We grabbed something to eat and got back home by 5pm so I hurried to get ready for the Homecoming Basketball game against Cassville. We won the game! On Saturday we had a Show Choir competition and as I got back home at 6pm I got ready for Winter Formal/ Basketball Homecoming 2017. ❄ It was not as fun as Football Homecoming but it still was a good night! On Sunday I had to work on make up work and we watched the Super Bowl which the New England Patriots won against the Atlanta Falcons 34-28.
