This post has been long overdue. Right now I'm just focusing on catching up and explaining my lack of posts so I can get back into writing more. Here goes.
Sadly, my older sister Daria passed away in February. She was a major reason why I came up here and one of my biggest champions. Thanks to everyone for reaching out to my family.
As for the rest of the semester, though difficult, I made it through (with an A average)! Here's what I've been up to:
I saw Michelle Obama! For real, y'all. The First Lady paid a visit to campus to speak about international studies and encourage students to take advantage of study abroad programs.

I turned 28. Mama got me a nice card:
Turns out I love basketball games!
Had a bit of snow this winter. It wasn't really pretty, just gross!
That's all I got for now. No school or work for the rest of the summer. Going to spend time with family and getting to know DC more. Catch ya later.
