I can't believe I've been here less than a week! Tomorrow I'm really getting things kicked off, which is a blessing and a curse after a long weekend. I've definitely had a wealth of city experiences already!
On Saturday I walked up to the Capitol and went for a run around the mall. It's pretty cool to use the Washington Monument, WWII memorial, and Lincoln Memorial as points of reference on your workout. In the afternoon I managed to get lost on the Metro on my way out to Robert's, but it ended up in a pretty amazing experience. It's funny how God sends strangers into your life when you really need them.
I watched the early game at Robert's and then headed back to my place to see the Colts. Needless to say, I am quite excited about the AFC Championship next weekend! Sunday was rainy, so I didn't venture out to do much other than grocery shopping. My roommates and I have also converted the study room into a workout room, and we're doing P90X together this semester. Between that and running, my body hates me.
Today was another beautiful day. I went out the Mall again and then walked up to Union Station with one of my roommates. We had a potluck with the other students and then some people came over to watch a movie. We ended up staying in the kitchen and debating everything from foreign policy to education reform - certainly not a typical night in Tuscaloosa, haha.
I start my internship and classes this week, which I am really looking forward to! After living on cereal and peanut butter and waffles for the first few days, I've finally started cooking some real food. The sight of me being domestic is probably very entertaining - my roommates have to keep giving pointers on things like how to tell if water is boiling. Yes, I'm that bad.
