Not a whole lot of time to take pictures at the moment. I would say my anthem this week is Alicia Keys’s Empire State of Mind minus the whole “make it big” aspect of the song; just the ambition to make a new life and a dream of making the lives of others better.
Outside of being nervous and so happy that Mary and I are here together, life is a complete adventure and very exciting. Orientation tomorrow!
Today’s Note: Id’ like to remember…
- The fresh excitement of getting ready for courses and my RA position. Getting ready to excel!
- The quiet of the SPH and libraries on the Sunday before Orientation. How many days will be like this, an echo of myself… silent and reflective.
- The excitement of how my person will change over the next 2 years, or even 2 months…
- Sharing as much as I can with my family and my Love.
Tally-ho to the next 1 year, 8 months, 25 days!

Hi Matthew:
Just stopped to get a cup of coffee and that reminded me of you, so I thought I would check your blog. Hope everything is going well. I didn’t know you were going to be an RA. Have fun. I was a GA went I worked on my masters and it was well worth it. Keep up the good work and make us proud. Bill VanCuran

Hi Bill! We are missing you all down here. I am glad to hear that the time spent on a GA/RA was valuable in the end. That is what I’ve been telling myself as well, and am really excited to start on Tuesday! Hoping you have many great cups of coffee, and I’ll do my best to make you all proud. Missing our hallway/lunch conversations
