Hey everyone, Yeeka here checking in for the first post of our Presidential Inauguration Seminar Program. Man, what a day. I’ve only been with our team for one day and I feel like I’ve know these guys for years. It’s always funny when you travel with a group of people; you hardly know them and then all of sudden you spend every minute of the day with them. Anyhow…I’ll give a quick run-down of our Mount Olive team and then a quick spill about the day.
Trent Lassiter (Business): I didn’t know Trent that well except for some classes that I took with him. He’s always a popular guy in class and he’s one of the most polite people you’ll ever meet. Just an easy going, no-nonsense kind of guy.
James Vickory (Business): James is a really funny guy, not like over-the-top funny but a very subtle funniness if that makes any sense. He’s just a nice guy and already offered me some of his suits if I needed it. You’re a champ James.
Jessica Dennis (English Communications): I’ve known Jessica for a while and I know how excited she is about all of this. She is really smart and is really relishing this opportunity to learn how to help non-profits.
Jenna Gudac (Business/Human Resources): I’ve had a few classes with Jenna and she has always been very intelligent and very prepared. She has already fought her way through the Metro so I know she can protect us if anything comes up.
Crystal Guy (Clinical Psychology): Crystal is my beautiful, sweet girlfriend! Besides that though, she is really a very inspiring and driven girl. She’s smart and hard-working and….let me stop here.
Then there’s me, Yeeka Yau. I’ll just say that, I have had a deep interest in Politics this past year and I hope to find inspiration from this experience. Hopefully, this blog will give you more insight into my being here.
We gathered this morning at Raper Hall for Dr. Gall to drive us to Rocky Mount train station. We arrived plenty early and hopped on the train for Washington D.C. It was a really nice smooth ride and we had lunch in the dining car, played cards and all promptly took a nap, except for James, who, every time I looked over at him was just staring into the back of the seat in front of him.
When we got to Union Station, we got on the Metro with about 3 tons of luggage. Not the best idea in peak hour Washington D.C. We got split up in the fiasco but finally got to our stop and walked 3 blocks in the rain to the apartment. We finally settled in, went to Wendy’s for dinner and hit up the Safeway for groceries for the week. I’ve still got to read so I’ll check in tomorrow for our first day of the Seminar!
I’m out!
