all joking aside, it was a good visit. good, but not great. i didn't have that recognition of "yes, this is where i want to come to school," yet everything I heard & saw was all very positive. it really is a great school--renowned professors, emphasis on spiritual growth in community, amazing field education opportunities. so it's a very strong option, but i just didn't have that feeling, that connection. i hope that i will be able to visit all 3 other schools, and maybe at one of them i will get that feeling. otherwise, i don't see much that pushes one ahead of the other. they're all great schools or i wouldn't have applied. so maybe i'll have to actually make a decision instead of relying on my gut. i guess that's probably what adults should do, huh?
i also got to spend some time with a few of my favorite girls while i was in the triangle :D
the weekend prior i traveled to DC to see my dearest Betsey. what a wonderful city to live in! i haven't been there since high school, and even though i had an extra day to spend with her & Luke, i felt like we only got to see a fraction of what the city has to offer. i think we all agreed that the National Gallery of Art couldn't be rightfully experienced without devoting several days, at least, to its galleries. i also enjoyed catching a glimpse into the life of my newlywed friends--to see their shared joys & struggles, the home they've made for themselves, their relationship as it grows.
here's our visit to the Smithsonian (note: the guy in green is not Betsey's husband)
