today was great, we went to the capital building and the pentagon city mall. The capital building was very intresting and guarded really tight. i remember looking up at the capital building and out of the corner of my eye i saw a Police Officer with a M16 machine gun. i was shocked but happy protection was there. ill tell you why i was happy to see him later on on my blog. anyway, after the capital tour we headed off to the mall, where we all ate at panda express and we all spent the rest of the night regreting it! lol ok, so we get back to campus and we eat dinner then we hear news of a shooting at the capital building and everyone was thinkimng to themselves,”we were just there.” it was sorta scarry but the police took care of the threat quickly. anyway its off to bed for me! we get to sleep longer tomorrow!
