It has been nearly three weeks since the UChicago cohort was selected and it is still difficult to believe that I get to take part in this incredible program. I am so blessed to have been chosen to travel to Chicago this summer and take the Contagion course that I am extremely interested in and will benefit greatly from. A year ago, I could only dream of being an ILCer and now here I am writing my first UChicago blog.
This past Thursday night was the first time the entire UChicago cohort got together since we were selected. We planned to meet at Kaleidoscope Coffee in Richmond at 6:45 pm. Once we all arrived, we ordered our drinks and began working on our blog. We played around with the different themes and layouts on Blogger and discussed how we wanted our website to look. We worked very well as a team, as you can tell because of the great blog we created!
That night we took more photos, including the blog’s banner photo. Don also showed us his impressive skills with Photoshop. Through the process of creating our blog, I realized how much effort is put into each detail of the Ivy League Connection.

To end the night, we learned the basics of how to use Media Fire. Don taught us how to upload and share pictures with each other to use for our blogs.
Overall, I really enjoyed learning more about the process of blogging because we will be doing a lot more of that over the next few months. In addition, I enjoyed spending time with my cohort and I am really looking forward to the rest of my journey with them.
