Day 63 (I think): I don't know

Some notable things.

I have chosen an absolute, most favorite mug at work. It is white and has a quote by Emerson: "Break the monotony. Do something strange and extravagant!"

I went on my first business trip to South Carolina to a pastor's conference. It was super quick, and every time someone asks me about it, I always begin with..."Christians are weird.."...really, we are.

I have been wearing bronze sandals as commuter shoes. I definitely get some perplexed looks.

Someone commented positively on my organizational skills...ha. I know my roommates are laughing. However, I must say that I am a lot more productive in a work environment.

I went snowboarding a while back in the Poconos. Needless to say, it was very different from the Rockies. Still it was a cool trip even though I busted it really lamely on a patch of ice at the bottom of the slope.... I was 17 years younger than the oldest person there. That happens a lot here. Hence...

I am quieter here. It becomes more and more evident how little I know. Humbling.

The only things that feel like my own up here are my clothes. Everything else is temporary and super transient. No personal space. Little quiet. Coffee shops close at like 6. It's all about living life constantly around lots of different people. It is really good and challenging.

I people watch here more than ever. The metros are an awesome place to do that. So many stories..but the only ones I know are the ones I project.

I now know how to play Settlers of Catan...and..it is worth mentioning..I have played twice, and twice have I won....also worth mentioning...Andrew Leach was my coach and ally.

Also, I went to Baltimore last Saturday. I liked it..lovely people and wonderful conversation. I drove the way back. For a little bit, I felt like I was 16 again with my dad commissioning me to go forth and me thinking.. this is insane, but I like the control. I did not drive throughout D.C. We probably would have died.

I have taken to eating raw vegetables (thanks to Liz) with salsa (thanks to Casey).

I miss you people.

The grocery store is still far away...
