Ah HA! You were late too! Beware! Your punishment is coming….but ummmm then I was two days late posting, so…then there’s that…
Dear Lindsay,
Ha ha HA! You were late writing to me, and so I — wait. WHAT DAY IS IT??
Alright, so I am ALSO a day late in writing to you. I do not have nearly as good of excuses are you did, but I’ll offer them anyway:
- I forgot.
- Last night I went downtown to the anarchist area of Athens.
- When I got back to my room, I had to figure out a tax nightmare with my mom.
- Mostly I just forgot.
Sorry! I sadly but curiously await my punishment.
AS FOR YOU.
Lindsay’s First “Letters Between Friends” Punishment
Created: April 22, 2016
Must be completed by: April 28, 2016
I hereby challenge you to “take” me to Avanti’s! I want a full-scale documentation of the food, our “conversations,” and whatever else necessary to make me feel like I got to hang out with you and eat some sweet, sweet Avanti’s bread.
Okay, now that that’s done…how are you? How is it finishing up at DHS? I know you love the kids there a lot, and leaving them must be hard. But I also know that you have some really cool future options, and you must be excited to see where they will go! You must be feeling all the emotions!
(By the way, I left you a video message on Skype. Did you get it? Maybe that’s another way we can keep in touch, since we can never seem to coordinate Skyping at the same time!)
Um, me? What a week! We just finished our first full week at HD, and I really love it. The classes are super interesting, and I really enjoy sitting with other women, discussing how the world feels crazy and our desire to have some kind of control can be twisted into something unhealthy (cigarette addiction, work addiction, shopping addiction, *coughNetflixaddiction*). It’s so cool to have a job where we literally just discuss all the ways we are weak and encourage each other to become stronger through education, community, and God.
I hope someday you’ll be able to come to HD and experience it too! There are some dreams in the works of getting together teams in the US to work on landscaping or designing our rooftop space, and I keep thinking about how fun it would be if some Woodlanders came! Like I said, it’s still very new and tentative, but…pray and dream with me!
I love you, dear friend, and I can’t wait to go to Avanti’s with you.
Tricia
