liberty

There's a certain amount of freedom that comes from being surrounded by complete strangers yet knowing they'll be your good friends in the weeks to come. Today we began orientation, which basically meant trying to get to know the other students and staff here.

While we all come from Christian colleges, it's amazing how there's so much diversity in ideas and backgrounds here. Considering I'm undecided in much of where I stand politically, I know that this semester's discussions and research will stir various opinions within me as we have people from the far left and far right.

A group of us walked into explore part of Georgetown this evening. Here's us on the metro coming home. The other girls in the picture are two of my roommates... so far it's been great with them.
