To read eventually

Reconciliation Blues, Edward Gilbreath
The Grace of Silence, Michele Norris
Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi
Encounter, Milan Kundera

Exeunt, omnes.

Two weeks after the Sojourners internship is finished, and it's never felt so good to relish in some alone time.

But my, what a year packed with richness this was. Here are a few things I picked up along the way:

5 new best friends
a better grasp of social justice
FRO-YO
dumpster diving skills
mediation skills
getting up early skills
grammar skills
a love for baking stuff with yeast... and having the time to do it
a K'NAAN & John Forte concert experience (hallelujah!)
a smattering of Spanish, thanks to GLN
and getting to soak up the wisdom of the amazing folks at Sojo. As a co-worker mentioned, Sojo attracts good people. How true.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Now I can start processing through all of this; Lord knows there wasn't time while it was happening!
