I have finally arrived at WJMC! I’m so excited! I was initially so nervous about being so far from home by myself and not knowing anyone here, but I am now confident that I will make many new friends. I even got to know someone who lived near my town!
I started typing this in my dorm room, getting ready to head over to The Hub to meet more people and play games. It is a bit hot outside, but I really want to get my steps in! I want to see if I can get to 10,000 each day of this conference since I heard that we would be doing a lot of walking. I played Pump It Up, which is a bit like Dance Dance Revolution. I chose VERY NICE by SEVENTEEN since they had a lot of K-pop songs.
I did a tour of the WJMC campus at 3:30 PM. It was nice to see the many reasons why someone would like to come to George Mason University. Later on, I met with my color group and we learned more about each other and were also able to ask questions that dispelled our fears and worries about this conference.
Lastly, we had the opening dinner with a speaker named Savannah Behrmann who is a Senate Correspondent for National Journal. Many of my peers were able to ask her questions but I did not because I couldn’t think of any in time…
The first day was very interesting, and I met a lot of new and interesting people, so I am excited for what the next day has in store for us.
Here are some pictures from my day 1 at WJMC :
