I heard about this project on NPR today on my way home. Cassie Boorn put out a call to her 30 and 40 something fellow bloggers to write a letter to their 20 something selves. She said that reading the letters made her appreciate herself more and not take herself so seriously. Also, many of the women reported that writing the letters was very therapeutic. I really liked the idea and thought I would send a letter out to a younger me.
First. Join the Air Force. You could learn a lot in the Army, but your future Air Force buddies will make you jealous. Skip the green (envy and uniform), go blue.
Second. When an old friend tells you not to get married 3 days before your wedding, listen. You will think you have everything in your back pocket, but soon it is scattered to the winds. If you choose not to listen, it will be okay. Long, painful, and confusing, but okay.
Third. Get out of bed and go to class!! You will regret not doing this, probably every single day.
Fourth. Listen to yourself. Always. Don't take the easy way out. Difficulty and grief will make you stronger and more resilient.
Fifth. Move faster, but take your time. You will only be a 20 something once.
Good Luck.

Tunnel, Week 26
Week 26 means we're half way through the year. It seems like just a few weeks ago things were still gray and bare.

Tunnel, Week 22
Not only sooner than last week, but the same day! And a dreary, rainy day it was. The Tunnel was beautiful today! Too bad the camera didn't focus better.

Tunnel, Week 21
So, I'm incredibly behind. My camera batteries pooped out, so these are with my cell phone camera, and its tiny 2 mega pixels. The tree cover is sufficient enough to drop the temperature in the Tunnel a degree or two. And, the shade is a nice reprieve from extra sunny days. I'll do my best to get tomorrow's shots up a bit earlier.
