Rockford, IL

So over the past couple of weeks I've been working a very beneficial internship in Rockford, Illinois. This is definitely a positive experience in my life. I've been learning a lot about economics, business, and government. It's not all as simple as we assume it is. It's a long strenuous process that we often over look. But really I've been having an amazing time here. I've meet a congressman, several people in the local government, and several people in the state government. It's been pretty wild. It's a very cool internship I'm glad I took advantage of the opportunity I was given, it was well worth it.

Also, while being here I saw a scuba diving shop where they teach scuba diving! I had to take advantage of this, because there's no place like this in Alabama that I could find. So I took the classes, made a couple dives, and now I am Open-Water Certified! I have a scuba diving license now! This is something I've really wanted to do for a couple years and I finally did it. Now to dive around the world!

Also due to unfortunately circumstances, my camera has broke! :( I will not have any pictures. I'm going camping in a week I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I would like to get a new camera but I do not have the money right now.
