A New Exhibit at the George Washington University Museum – It’s pretty cool, actually!

The George Washington University Museum just opened this awesome new exhibit, “The Life and Legacy of George Washington.” It’s all about his life and presidency. They got artifacts and interactive displays – I heard the interactive stuff is really neat! It shows his whole journey, from surveyor to, you know, leading the American Revolution and all that presidential stuff. I’m totally going to check it out.

Honoring Alex deMoura – Such a sad story, but a beautiful tribute.

The GW gymnastics team, they did something really sweet. They honored Alex deMoura, this gymnast who passed away, in a special ceremony during their meet against Cornell, UW-LaCrosse, and Ursinus. They even wore new leotards in her honor. It was really touching, I heard. Made me a little teary-eyed, to be honest.
