Wind her up and watch her go!

10:57 p.m. Georgetown, DC.
It's exciting to watch Karina become more and more independent! We flew into Washington Dulles airport last night and hit the ground running today. Other than the opening welcome session, Business School Dean's session and the closing convocation, where parents and students were together, she split off on her own for the student sessions. We parted ways about 7 p.m. so she could meet Mary B. for dinner, then go bowling with Courtney C. 'til 1 a.m. I won't see her again until tomorrow night for a night cab ride around the monuments. She's probably staying with friends again--to get the full "Georgetown Experience".

She reminds me of one of those little wind-up toys. All they need is a little crank in the beginning, then they're off!

Georgetown is a fantastic school/place. The students are welcoming and enthusiastic about their work and activities. The ones we've met are spirited and passionate. The curriculum includes ethics, values, service, relationships, loyalty... not just achievement. Pretty cool!
