Man It's a Freakin Good Day

So last month I wrote and submitted an essay on my study abroad experience for an international education organization/magazine. They emailed me today to tell me that I won 2nd prize and that as runner-up I am invited to come to Washington DC with them (all expenses paid) in late March for an advocacy day. We're going to get to meet with members of Congress on Capitol Hill and talk about international education issues. I am so wicked stoked.

And I'm getting published.

Sweeeeeet.
