I will never forget the first literature class I had in college. I remember looking around at the room full of people who were openly admitting they had an acute interest in books and knowing that I was one of them, that I belonged. These were my people.
That is how I feel here already, and I have literally been to the airport, my hotel room, and the grocery store. Because the sense of belonging that I feel has nothing to do with the place I am and everything to do with the people I am with. I'm staying with Kelli and Carrie, and let me tell you: they rock. So welcoming, so interesting, so kind. I have already learned so much in one evening, and I cannot wait to see what the rest of the week has in store.
Now if I could just figure out which outfit to wear tomorrow, we'd be in great shape...
Love,
