So I didn't meet Cardinal Dolan. BUT...
I did make a wonderful network of new friends. This morning I went to St. Patrick’s Cathedral, where the newly-ordained Cardinal led mid-morning prayer, and the reception at the Sheraton. Colin, director of NYC’s Young Adult Outreach, seated me at a table with his wonderful mother and sister and a few of their friends. I met so many amazing people, all who loved my story of conversion...
Sam Keen emailed me back. YES.
I emailed him last night about my research paper and how wonderful I thought his book The Passionate Life was. He replied with, “I can tell you are thinking for yourself. Go care-fully on your journey. Trust love above all else…”
I hope I get to meet him one day. I really want to have a long, deep conversation with him.
There is this guy on the piano in the DAC right...
He played Iris by Goo Goo Dolls, and it made me smile. He also made Pumped Up Kicks sound amazing. Cool piano dude, I tip my imaginary hat to you.
I’m sitting on a sun-soaked chair in DAC, and, though my tea has gone bad because it was in the sun for too long, I am happy.
At least I think I’m happy. I’m not unhappy. I have a research paper on sexuality and marriage that...

Drove in circles around my neighborhood tonight...
… except it was with Steve and not him. And all I could think was that he should have been the one driving me around Brooklyn, like we did so many times before…
And of course, we (Steve and I) were listening to “Learning To Love Again” by Mat Kearney. God, if this is a sign, it’s a really bad one. Because I’m not getting over him. And I won’t stop hoping...
Listening to our song for the first time since he...
and instead of destroying me, it’s giving me hope.
God, I hope you have a good plan
because everyone keeps telling me you do, but I honestly don’t know anymore…
Sittin' in DAC... not in class...
I skipped math class because I was talking to Trish after RCIA for too long… oops!
I should be doing homework. I’ll be on the Women’s Retreat this weekend and won’t be able to do any of it til Sunday. But I’m not doing homework.
Yesterday was awful. The Music CMSAs had a meeting with our new Music Minister. I wanted to cry. I did cry. Things are changing, and...

Photography: we worked with photograms in the...
And it was SO. AWESOME.
I love being a photographer. I love being in the darkroom, working with the equipment. I love watching the photo come to life in the first chemical solution.
We had three categories to work from: organic, geometric, and allegorical. My allegorical piece was the best, I think. I used a model ship from Portland, Maine, a cross pendant, a dreamcatcher, a skeleton key, a...

I don't have time for anything but a quick update.
So here it is.
Today was a good day. I love my photography professor. I love my friends. I love people on the subway who point out empty seats for me. And I love how some of my friends will go out of their way to help me. It’s flattering, really, and it makes me feel very, very special.
Yesterday I marched for life in DC. The whole trip: 3am-10:30pm. It was awesome. I think I pulled a...
today was a very faith-filled day
I’m way too tired to write anything worth reading right now, so I’ll reflect on it tomorrow.
Campus Ministry student leader reatreat was awesome.
12:15 Mass starts tomorrow, which means singing again, yay.
Small group with Sarah was very intimate and lovely.
All in all, lots of prayer and reflection went down today — something I was in desperate need of.
my place
I am in need of a venting outlet which isn’t stalked by family members who want to know EVERYTHING about my life. Tumblr is the only place I’m safe.
