After thirteen hours of traveling yesterday, I finally made it to Walla Walla, Washington. I am visiting Whitman College (1,300 students - a little smaller than OWU) and it is nice here. It is so warm (50 degrees) and not rainy, like I expected. Apparently the western side of the state rains but the eastern side isn't as rainy.
The chapter has a "section" of a dorm for the women to live in. The dorm feels like a bed and breakfast with rooms for the women. So it is really nice. I have my own room that conjoins with another chapter member, but I still have my privacy. It is pretty nice. Last night I went to bed so early, 10 p.m. here, while it was 1 a.m. EST so it was nice to just be able to go to sleep!
I have a lot of meetings today, but not as many as usual. This chapter is on the pilot program, which is a minimal officer structure. So instead of having 26 officers to meet with, I only have nine. There are still some committees I also have to meet with, but not as many as usual - so it is nice!
I am starting to feel more sick, which isn't fun. But it isn't horrible yet! Off to start the day...
I attached a picture of my time at Harvard. This is the building that I stayed in. The school rooms students by houses instead of by dorms, kind of like in Harry Potter. So every freshman writes down seven or so people she/he would like to live with and then they are given a spot in a house. There are twelve houses and every house has a dining hall, etc. so it is its own community within a community. I stayed in Lowell House, it was really pretty! I also attached a picture of the freshman's dining hall (the freshman live in the yard, they move into their house their sophomore year).
