Finals, funding and friends: The End of Year #2
Well, my friends — as fun as it’s been blogging about Washington D.C., SXSW, switching apartments and study abroad this year, all good things must come to an end. The following are some closing thoughts for my final blog post.

Semester #4: Practically 2/3 done with my college career

Life in D.C.: Frequently Asked Questions
Having finally settled back into Austin, I can now stop and answer some of those ever-present FAQs asked by family, friends and readers about my time in Washington.
