Dear all,
It has been awhile since I have written an update =D But I am getting back into the swing of things. See below for more. Also, there are some new additions to this list so welcome to the Seattle folks! Lastly, this will be the last update from this email address.
Winter
This past winter was pretty good to me. Seattle was really really cold and there was a really bad snow storm that left me without electricity for a few days. I had no problem with the no electricity as living in the Dominican Republic it was a daily event to be without electricity for a few hours. The problem was that it was 32 degrees outside…so I stayed with my co-worker as she still had light. Also this past winter I was a free tax preparer with United Way King County. I had a really great time doing taxes, weird I know, but I learned a lot about tax laws and I really enjoyed helping people get more of their hard earned money back.
Spring
Um…this past Spring. So during most of this year I have been participating in a series of personal transformation workshops and this Spring was my favorite workshop of them all. I think I liked it because they used movies to get some of their points across…lets just say that I have a new appreciation for The Karate Kid. To learn more about these workshops check out www.landmarkeducation.com, feel free to email or call me as well =D
Summer
This summer I moved back to the east coast to start a Graduate Certificate in PACs and Political Management at George Washington University. I applied for law school but that didn't go as planned and I am not as interested in attending law school as I once was. So I'm on to a new plan. Besides moving back east another highlight of this summer was attending the American Political Science Association Meeting in Chicago. I presented my Fulbright research at the Woman's Caucus' Pre Conference. I met so many interesting people and made a lot of connections in the Political Science world
Conclusion
This update is short and sums up about 8 months in about a page so feel free to respond back if you want more information about any particular part of this email. I hope all is well in your world and if you are on the east coast, more specifically the DC metro area, we should get together and catch up.
Until next time…
Danielle
