Wednesday July 159
Oh so now that I’m looking on the schedule from Wednesday i remember my fabulous day ;] First we met with Chuck Todd, NBC Chief White House Correspondent. HE WAS GREAT! He talked about how he and President Obama met Willy Mays at an all star game earlier this week. Mr. Todd was so inspired and grateful to have met Willy Mays which was exciting for me because I love baseball. I’ve been raised around it my whole life. After Chuck Todd Dean of George Mason University Admissions gave us such a fabulous and informational session about what college admissions staff look at, I was ready to apply to my colleges right then and there! But the heavily anticipated mall trip to Pentagon City Fashion Center made me forget about applications and focus on where to shop for only 1 HOUR! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT???? ONE HOUR TO SHOP AND EAT! OH YEAH…NOT JUST SHOP…BUT SHOP AND EAT!! What in the world were these people thinking??? That was definately all everybody talked about all day yesterday. And silly me when i saw on the schedule before my arrival that we were going to the mall…i thought they were talking about the National Mall where everybody crowded to watch President Obama become the 44th US President. But best believe I was not heart broken to go to a shopping mall! So after that we went to Capitol Hill. I loved that place. It was sooo beautiful there. I swear DC is like the coolest most fabulous place in the country. Well not most fabulous because LA and NYC are comming to mind saying, “whoa slow your roll there miss ashley!” But DC is really cool because everything that has happened in America or has involved Amerca is in this little little city! Its soooo facinating i love it! But you know wat was not so fabulous…there was a shooting in the Capitol Hill area yesterday!! Can you believe that??? And even crazier is that we left Captiol Hill at 4:00pm and this incident happened at 5:15pm!! I did a radio podcast reporting on it hopefully i can upload it for you all. But anyways let me go because I can talk forever!!! love you guys
