In other news:
Life in the City has been going swimmingly. Despite some minor snafus, everything is great! I am surprised to find how easily I have slipped into life here. I’m still developing a routine and feeling my way around, but really have been having a great time.
The people who I immediately connected to are also transfer students. They get the whole assimilating process and the whole newbie thing, which for me, means instant connection. It’s great.
I watched the inauguration in a theater bigger than the one at home I go to see professional movies in! It was mind blowing for numerous reasons. The enormity of the event and the importance of change hit me hard. I felt it in that room. The power of my generation. The support for our country. And the feeling that I belonged. That I have found the place for me. That months of worrying, fighting, and feelings of utter hopelessness culminated in that moment of pure exhilaration. I let it all go and now know that I am fighting the good fight that is my future. Whatever happens, happens, but in the end, it will all work out for the better!
“The power of one, if fearless and focused, is formidable, but the power of many working together is better.” -Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (Current president of the Philippines)
