Happy Saint Paddy's Day!

In celebration of St. Paddy's Day, I wore green and clover earrings. Almost everyone had something green on, although the motives of some were questionable: I think the only reason they wore green was to keep from getting pinched!

So today was a great day. I got my homework done, it was sunny, classes were good, the lady from Branch emailed me back, I got a 10 on my TAS, and *drumroll please*:

I got an email from a lady from the Elks National Foundation! Because I'm an Elk's Scholar, I have to email the Elks at the end of every semester with a semester update. She emailed me regarding my last semester update, saying how the volunteer work I did my first semester (Mexico Outreach) sounded interesting, as did the unique study abroad program I'm enrolled in now. Every month a different Elk's Scholar is featured in an online article that is emailed to the Elk's Scholars, and she wants to feature me in an article! I'm so excited! I thought it was just the kids who were 12-year-old brain surgeons who were featured, lol.

Tomorrow (well, today, now) we leave for San Francisco at 5:30 a.m. sharp--I'm so excited! Well be visiting museums and churches and all over San Fran. Don't worry, I'll take tons of pictures =).

~Love you all,
Abbi
