What? English? in Philadelphia?

I am currently chilling with my friend Sarah in New York City. It’s been a blast, as we have covered a good portion (in my mind) of the city. Today I got to see the Statue of Liberty for the first time, which was pretty neat.

 I hit a major milestone yesterday, as I watched the last of my TFA training videos. Now I just need to finish off my pre-institute writings and I will be good to go. Also, I got my information for the Job interviews next Monday. Looks like I will need to buy a blazer between then and now.

I think travelling has been a great way to prepare me for living out here. When I was at the Sojourners conference, I got really homesick for some reason. Since then I’ve been able to sit down, look myself in the mirror, and realize that there is no turning back. I’m out here for good or ill, and I have to embrace that fact.

Only 3 days until I move to Philly.

So, today was my first day in Washington D.C. I got to the conference location around 5:00 p.m., and decided that I would use the time to tour my favorite spots in WDC. I ended up connecting with a new friend, Katie, and we wandered the city, hitting all the major landmarks. The pictures can be found here:
