In other news, we had another greattttt week! But every week here is great. Duh.
Monday:
E&L, Henry introduced us to Ashoka and their part in our Social Venture project. We worked on it all morning and started to get in contact with various people from back home to get the ball rolling on my project. I'm getting my friends involved and my teachers as well. I can't wait for everything to be ready and to actually start doing my project.
Noah, Alanna, and Gray are all in NYC at an event, so basically Henry is in charge for today and tomorrow. He taught our English class. We discussed Getting to Yes. It's a surprisingly useful, but annoying book.
Tuesday:
Shortened classes because we had to go register for APs. We went to the National Cathedral and walked around until we had registration at National Cathedral School. Much different all girls atmosphere than HB. Although I like how St. Alban's and NCS have the same campus. I wish HB and US had that.
Wednesday:
E&L, we went to Ashoka to get their intro to the project. It was not what we expected and all stuff that we had already done. It would have been perfect had this been the start of our social venture projects.
Jorge, Isabel and I had our lunch club meeting and we went to La Tomate. It was so yummy.
In the afternoon, we had a block English class to get ready for the AP. In the evening, Trevor, Jorge, Nitika, Caity, Emily, Audrey and I went to the Sewall-Belmont House for a panel discussion about women in public office. We heard Jennifer Lawless, who ran for Congress in Rhode Island and Ann Kornbult, author of a book about women in the presidency. It was really fascinating. They were great speakers.
Thursday:
Normal day, except for we had a speaker during lunch. National Geographic photo editor, Kurt Mutchler, spoke to us about ethics in photography. He was fascinating. Also, you will be excited to know that the famous Afghan girl cover has no photo editing! Yes, her eyes are THAT green.
We also had our last Chinese class where we discussed Chinese education.
We had exercise block with Henry. We played an epic game of Capture the Flag on the Mall.
Friday:
E&L, we have been working on our social venture projects. Today we had to deliver our elevator speeches. The elevator speech is the abbreviated business pitch. We did a role play where we ran into Noah in an elevator and had to get his business card. I successfully got his business card with my awesome pitch. It was a funny and great exercise. We didn't do anything in the evening because a lot of us have the SAT tomorrow. Oh joy.
Saturday:
I had to wake up early for the SAT, but it wasn't bad because Robbie made us pancakes! What a guy! I think the test went pretty well though. Unfortunately, I missed Open Embassy day. For English class, everyone walked around and visited different embassies and got free food and henna tatoos. We chilled at home all afternoon. In the evening though, we had the most epic scavenger hunt ever! We were split into three groups and we were given various tasks to complete all throughout the city. We ended up at Good Stuff, of course. It was such a fun evening. I hate how there is only one month left. Where did all the time go?

Sunday:
I have to study for my AP tests all day long. Gross.
