Every New Beginning Comes From Some Other Beginning's End

 Orientation Weekend is almost over. It has been a great weekend exploring the city of Philadelphia. I have tried a few amazing restaurants, started mastering the subway, and I have been familiarizing myself with the Temple campus. Yet, tomorrow is the beginning of the spring semester! I am very anxious to see what classes are like at a University setting. Today some very helpful experienced MCPC students helped my roommates (they're awesome) and I find our classrooms. Definitely a relief and this new knowledge will hopefully help me fit in as a Temple student.

Last night I went to Naked Chocolate Cafe for dessert. Anyone who knows me, knows at least this fact...I LOVE chocolate!!! This place is heaven drizzled with chocolate syrup. I had a milk chocolate fondue with a variety of delicious treats. This morning, we broke up into small groups to complete service projects on Martin Luther King Day. I went to a thrift store called Circle Thrift that is connected to Circle of Hope Church. I helped organized clothes and sorted through numerous bags of shoes. (Let's get some Shoes). It was a wonderful morning and I enjoyed helping out our surrounding community.


Psalm 15
Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary?
Who may live on your holy hill?

He whose walk is blameless
and who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth form his heart.

Today Dr. Peterson talked about academic integrity and our responsibilities within the Messiah and Philadelphia community.  We want to focus on making sure we demonstrate our integrity by acting the as daughters and sons of Christ that we strive to be.

To follow up on my first post and run. Derek, my running partner for the semester, and I did find an Art Museum...Just the wrong one. We still finished a solid 6.6 miles with a 7:25 pace. The "Rocky Steps" are still on my running destination list!
