Falling into Place

Wow, it’s been two months since I posted last. Who ever thought that this much could change in that period of time?

If you’re reading this blog and are not familiar with what’s been going on in my life, I’m in Washington D.C. now. It’s not like the past where I’ve just come to hang out for a couple weeks and go back home. I’ve actually been here for over a month now. I can’t even believe it!

My first month was spent at the abode of Chris and Rachel. I’m still so astonished that they actually let me send an entire month snoozing in their office. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I think it helped that I tried to get out as much as possible to check out different think tanks and political panels. I’m pretty sure we passed the test, since after that month we’re still talking to each other.

Now I am staying in this women’s residence hall called Thompson-Markward Hall. This place has been an absolute blessing. I have my own furnished room, food is included (except for lunch) and I just got back from walking to the National Gallery of Art. Yeah, it’s that close to the national mall.

My real purposed for being here, however, is to find a job. I’ve been trying to spend most of my day sending out resumes over the last month. There have been plenty of rejections, but things are starting to look up. I’m not going to give out too many details so that I don’t jinx it, but I’m definitely feeling hopeful. Other things are going well too. I’ve fallen even more in love with this city…and I’ve even met someone :3 I totally wasn’t planning on that happening, but when can you really plan these things? Needless to say, I’m a happy lady.

Oh and another random development, I’ve gone to mass every Sunday for the past three weeks. And…uh…I think I like it?

Basically, it’s been a crazy month!!
