My UWP Journey!!

Soooo we arrived in Washinton, D.C. yesterday around….let’s sayyyy….. 4ish? Yeah, I’d say that’s about right.

It’s October 9, 2010. It’s been soooo horribly long since I’ve blogged, and I apologize so much for that!!! I tried to keep up with my blogging in Taiwan, where I didn’t have any internet in the first two cities! So I wrote everything on Microsoft Word, which happened to run out of days on [...]

Second CI day!! We went to a farm where they grow food and sell to the people who have more of a hard time finding the money for the food in grocery stores. They also have workshops where they teach people how to grow food out here in the ridiculous AZ weather!!!! One main problem [...]

Ubuntu: a person is a person because of other persons ; we are all connected to one another ; my humanity is tied to your’s.

It’s been a busy last few days. I woke up at 4 a.m. on Tuesday, drove to the airport, went through long security :/, rode the terminal train , and finally flew out at 8. Our cast was split into two groups, one that left at 8 with me, and one that left at noon. [...]
