Good and Bad

The good news:  I'm in DC!
The bad news: without Blake.


The good news: I'm here for the Public Relations Student Society of America National Conference.
The bad news: Blake isn't here


The good news: This is the coolest opportunity to network, build relationships, and learn more about the profession that I am slowly assimilating into with every press release, every tweet, and every article I write; and since I'm on the Executive Board, for the BYU chapter of PRSSA, this trip was basically all paid for.
The bad news:  I'm Blake-less.... you get the picture.  But it's only six days, and I'll be back on Tuesday, oh you know, the day before my 22nd birthday!! Wednesday. 


So I'm here with 5 of the 8 members of the E-board having a blast.  Tomorrow is the first official day of conference, so today we did the tourist thing.

Me, Michelle T., and Lauren on the plane.  And creeper Nick in the background.  Oh I died my hair darker! I love it.  Not my best picture though, cut me some slack, it was the end of the flight.

These were supposed to look cooler.  We're on a really sweet looking escalator off of the metro.  OK now I can see the idea seemed cooler in my head.

The girls in front of the Capitol. Me, Haley, Lauren and Michelle T.

We saw some amazing memorials today too, but I'll post about them tomorrow.  My favorite was the Pentagon memorial.  So peaceful and still so somber.  I am so grateful for our country, and so very proud to be an American.
