Washington DC

Well! It has been a long time hasn't it!! I am still in Washington DC, but no longer an intern! I work for the American Friends of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation! Who knew the German would one day get me a job!! All thanks to my 7th grade German teacher... Frau (Tourney that is!)

DC is.... well... interesting. Sometimes I love it! For example tonight I am off to the French Embassy for a waltz lesson and soiree...I know I run in fabulous circles! And other times I completely loose faith in the human race. Check out this amazing tumblr for a little picture of DC life!

I have not been taking many pictures... DC is not very inspiring but that hopefully will change =) Until then friendsies, you will have to make due with a new awesome song!

Music to Hear

Sorry for the picture on the vid ! lol

Axel sent me this one and I love it... so addicting!

Avec Duex S

I am learning French mostly so I can sing this in the street....and be hardcore... I could pull it off I think...

Ready for Lift Off!

So... I leave for DC in 2 days! Wow ... yah so this is my image of how it will be in DC...

However think the reality will be quite different

I will be interning for Layalina Productions as a development intern. According to their mission statement this is what they do:

"Layalina helps bridge the divide between the Arab world and the United States by fostering cultural, educational, and professional dialogues through effective television programming and publications." (Layalina)

So basically I will be writing grants for them and working on fundraising... that is between getting the coffee and filing! Actually I'm sure it will be great! So I will be in Washington DC for the spring if anyone wants a visit to the east coast!!

I have also finished my Graduate school applications.... here is the official list:
-American University
-Tufts
-University College London
-Kings College London
-London School of Economics and Political Science / Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris
-The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva

Wish me luck ... I will need it!
