My Final DC Adventures.....for now....

This past semester was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! My internship was one of the best experiences of my life! I learned more working for the Treasury then I ever could have imagined. I am sorry to see my time in DC come to an end, but I will cherish the memories forever! :) I met AMAZING people and already miss them dearly! I also got to meet the Secretary of the Treasury, Sec. Paulson, and the U.S. Treasurer, Treasurer Cabral....among others...

I am back in Michigan now....I will be in the Detroit area until May and then it is off to Mackinac for another summer! :)
I am glad to be home, and am loving the snow! It is nice to be able to spend some time with my family and see my friends again! I am also looking forward to my final semester of undergrad and being back on campus.
It is a long entry......lots of fun adventures! :)
I went home for Thanksgiving! :) Girls night!
