Yeah, been a bit busy lately. Apologies for the lack of posts but as you can see I've been doing a lot. So, The picture on the bottom left is from the World Affairs Council Conference which I was able to go to because of my wonderful Granddad. Vicinte Fox, the past president of Mexico was one of the speakers. It was an amazing conference and I enjoyed all of the speakers even if I was only able to go for a day. The woman beside Fox in the picture is my friend from Uruguay who is an intern with the UN (I met her there).
The picture on the bottom right is from the Founder's Day/Inaugural Ball that was held in February at the Italian Embassy. Usually it is the Founder's Day Ball, but this year we inaugurated our 14th president, Cornelius Kerwin (an AU alumni and faculty member), so things were a bit more formal and spruced up. =) It was fun to find myself dancing next to the Dean of my school.
From Feb. 29th thru March 6th, I was in Japan for my classmates' HS graduation ceremony. This (top picture on the left) is one of many that I took with numerous students, some of whom were in my class, but all were in my grade. I had a fabulous time and enjoyed every second of my time there. I even forgot English! =P
Last picture on the upper right is from Spring break: went home to Portland, Oregon to crown the next Rose Festival Princess Ambassador from Grant High School... Taylor Allen (the girl in the brown dress between the bright blue gown and the tux). She is a friend of mine (not the one who introduced me at my Rose Festival Assembly last year) and was a fellow recipient of the Bank of America Student Leader Award.
Sunday, March 23rd Nigel comes to stay with me for a week! Also, March 29th, my Gospel Choir will be singing at the Georgetown Gospel Fest which Nigel will get to see, and so I am SUPER excited about that. Our Spring Gospel Choir Concert will be April 12th at 2pm in the Kay Spiritual Life Center here on campus (I know you will all be there in spirit). (^_^)
So, I am fully recovered from my previous post's described attempts at defying gravity (sorry for scaring everyone!). I'm surviving my classes pretty well, enjoying most of them (spanish class - NOT SO MUCH!), and really enjoying my work at the daycare on campus. Spring is here so things are looking and feeling good, again! Yay! Oh, and happy Persian New Year, everyone!
Love, Kaia
