Well, something worth writing about finally happened.
Saturday I stopped by Etown to see Amanda, Sara, Courtney, and Jills. That was so good seeing them! (I'll put up a picture when I upload them)
Then Sunday I headed off to DC for the Northern Uganda Lobby Days symposium. (http://www.ugandalobbyday.com/) I went to the last one about a year and a half ago. It was another really good experience. I stayed with my friend Val from Etown. It was really good catching up with her =)
I'm now really interested in either starting my own organization or partnering with another organization to integrate art and music into educational programs in post-conflict areas where a lot of children were involved in the conflict as therapy. It's going to take a lot of work, so we'll see what happens. I'm really excited because it will bring together my enjoyment of art and music with my psychology degree and my current studies in international development. (check out War Dance, it was nominated for an Oscar for best documentary, and Voices of Uganda, which should be out towards the end of the year/beginning of next)
I also have a job interview tomorrow for doing transcription work at the place I applied to a month or 2 ago. Wish me luck!
