Rock Falls, March

Back in March, I went to an orientation in Rock Falls with the other Outbounds from my district. Unfortunately at the time I had strep throat, so it wasn't as fun as it probably should have been. Still though, the presentations were very good and the other girls were all nice, so it wasn't completely miserable. I got to meet with someone from Japan, who I'm still in contact with. She's patient enough to answer questions I have about Japanese culture.
