1st day of Seminars

Yesterday, I went on the Metro all by myself for the 1st time to check out where my internship is. It's about a 45 minute commute, which really sucks. The trip on the Metro, itself, went pretty good. I was asked for money for the first time, and I saw a homeless person. I thought she was going to jump me from behind, but of course she didn't.

Today my class and I went to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum and met with an 85 year old woman who has been studying the Amazon since WW2. She was very old and I thought she was going to be a lot more interesting than what she was. She also didn't answer any of the questions that we had asked her. After, I went with a couple of other students and my professor out to eat. I thought it was going to be really casual way of getting to know everyone and the professor, but it turned out to be a little mini lecture that lasted about an hour and a half. It really sucked. Tomorow we are going to the zoo in the morning and then having classes all afternoon and evening. I'm already tired of the school aspect of this program.
