WHAT UP EVERYONE? Hope your holidays were full of laughter and fruit cake and cheer. (Maybe not the fruit cake, actually. That is gross and I can't really imagine anyone legitimately liking it).
The reason for the "Owlidays" in the title is because I received several owl related things for Christmas. So. Yes. Just to clear that up.
For real, though. I got approximately five owl things. Life is great. In case you're confused, the reason for my owl obsession is this: Sophie means wisdom in Greek, and Athena was the goddess of wisom. THREE GUESSES WHAT HER SYMBOL WAS. If your first guess was not owl, then you are sadly mistaken.
Apologies for not having written in a while. I've been a tad busy here in DC. With what, you ask? Well, I will tell you. I have acquired two internships (one at a scholarship foundation and the other at a Senator's office). I can't go into a ton of detail for fear of breaking some office rule but I can tell you that I enjoy both of them A LOT. I get edit things and I also am being trained to lead tours at the Capitol itself. I am super duper excited about that one but I am also wigging out a little bit. I have no idea how I'll remember everything but I guess if I forget, I can always make stuff up...(that is a joke. I wouldn't actually do that).
Anyway, our departure date for Haiti has been set for the 22nd. We spend two nights in Miami and then arrive in PAP on the 24th. So. It is rapidly approaching and I am starting to second guess myself a little. Maybe second guessing is the wrong phrase. I am so unsure of what to expect that I can't picture myself there yet. I can't imagine what I'll be doing, I can't conjure up smells or sounds or images yet.
However, there isn't really anything I can do except try to go in withOUT expectations. I am not expecting to love it right away, nor to hate it. I am going in with a blank slate. (NO SPOILERS PLEASE). I am very excited though. Eeeeeeeek.
Love to you all and Happy New Year,
Soph
