From SLC I flew to D.C. for e re-entry orientation. I was glad to see all my exchange student friends again, but the orientationw as very strict and I had to sleep alone in a room. D.C. was incredible hot and humid and we had to wear fancy clothes all day for a meeting with the congressman. (Yes, the guys had to wear a suit).
We saw a lot of sights and it was fun, but everyone had a little bit the feeling, that they didn't want to be there. Everyone wanted ratehr spend more time with their friends and family in the US or finally meet their family in Germany.
