As Anticipated...

It's been awhile, and sadly I do not have the cartilage between my knuckles or the brain capacity to remember all that has actually happened since RA Training Week.
I do know that I have learned alot (ALOT) about myself. I have been able to confirm adn discover certain traits about myself. I have raised guards at the same time as I have torn down barb wire fences. I have gained new fr--acquientences (not friends YET) and I have shed some dead weight. It's been a good 3 weeks. As much as my boss (the RD) seems annoyed with me when I use the adjective to describe my typical weeks ("typical"since adjusting to the portion of Philly where my classes are aka streets and byways of Temple), I really am just "good". I am doing alot of thinking and praying and self-discovery and extra-discovery that is forcing me to grow as a person, reconcile with faults of mine, and recognize certain things about the world around me. It's a mix of great, horrible; excellent, life-changing; awesome, gravitous; happy, sad. So it's all "good". More to come.


I LOVEEE my roommates. All Asian, except for one (yes, at this point all of the Malaysian, Thai, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese food I've eaten and my amazing chpostick skills = I am now officially Asian too), Lauren who is white. We've jokingly assumed to our room the theme: "Yellow, Black, and White Pride".
