| When we first arrived at Conner Prairie our mandatory volunteer activity was pulling up Garlic Mustard plants. Garlic Mustard is an invasive species that is everywhere in Indiana. This is a picture of me with a handful of the smelly stuff. Luckily, I don't mind weeding, I find it quite satisfying, actually. |
After volunteering we got to explore Conner Prairie for a while. It was a lot of fun, and everything is more exciting with exchange students!

While we were at Conner Prairie, my friends, Denisse, Riko, Poppy, Alisa, Rina, Riko, Sarah, and I got to go on a helium balloon ride! It was amazing!

We spent the night on the gym floor of Noblesville High. It wasn't as bad as it looks, and it was nice to have everyone in one place. photo creds: Kimberly (who's going to Japan!)

| Here is a picture of me, Barbra, and my fiend Wasa. (Wasa is going to France!) Barbra is an awesome person who I happened to sit next to at the conference. It turned out, she was presenting at the conference. Her presentation was amazing, inspiring, and tear-jerking. While she was on exchange in Germany she made a video of herself speaking as though she was talking to her future self. So while present Barbra stood on the stage, past Barbra was on the screen. It was amazing and I was very glad to get to share lunch with her. |
