Today I went downtown to one of the best cities in the world to get myself all set up for work. (exciting!) In the morning Daddy and I rode the train into Union Station. Daddy's job is in DC, but it's nice to imgine that his job was only an ulterior motive for holding my hand as I nervously entered the busy commuter side of the city. In the past Washington has been a destination for amusement whether it be the smithsonians or a monument of some sort. But today, I did the whole brave city girl thing riding the metro and walking around town taking care of business, and I loved every last single moment of it. I loved being lost in the hurried crowds of people all heading towards equally important purposes. I loved the crowded metro, the congested sidewalks, the sychronized trips across crosswalks. There's a certain enjoyment in being caught up in the anonymity of crowds. When I'm walking from place to place I'm not me, I am simply an entity of a mass moving towards a hundred different distinct locations. It was a fairly sucessful day accomplishing much and taking satisfaction in that accomplishment.
I'm a 21 year old, SENIOR (in my LAST semester), elementary education major at Maranatha. This past semester was one of the hardest I’ve ever experienced but with grace I made it through. I live in the sweetest dorm and have the best floor ever! I have the typical American family: Mom and Step-dad, Dad and Step-mom, Siblings from oldest to youngest: Jason, Hannah, Jeremy, Ashley, Charlie, and baby Liv. It gets pretty crazy sometimes but it's lots of fun! God is so good to me! 2 Corinthians 12:9
