So I decided to go out to downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. However, Friday proved to be a FAILURE. Couldn't find ANYWHERE to park, and NO coffee or taverns I was looking for! So therefore, while on the phone with Natalie Huth, explaining my failure and my drive back to my house. So luckily I had stumbleupon.com and a German exchange student, Isabel, to hang out with late last night. So Friday's hidden success, coming home, changing into pajamas and eating ice cream.
Saturday, FAILURE in trying to locate the Eastown Bizarre Bazaar, it didn't exist. So lucky decided to explore via car the rest of downtown and DID find my first success of the day: The Bitter End. A very cute, on the more ghetto side of the downtown coffee shop. Filled with University students, good coffee, and street parking you can actually find! Then I decided why not try and find the lake. So I drove out to Holland and walked out to the beach and enjoy the COOL 62 degrees! It was heavenly. This was a success!
Then I was apparently more tired than I thought, came home and fell asleep for 2 hours. Then pizza and tv with Katye. And currently writing this post.
This week at work went really well. I actually started writing grants. So far I have written 2 Letters of Inquiry for a media grant, and created a mission statement and created the name and purpose of an entire new program at WAR that needs funding! That was probably my favorite part of the week. No news on a part time job, even though I have applied for a new job about every other day. Guess that's God's answer for right now.
Still somewhat lonely here. I still don't know anyone my own age outside of other interns who are from around here and have their friends and other jobs. But its only week 2, so know worries. Tomorrow I am actually helping out at the Schut's church. I will be signing 2 chapters from Psalms that goes along with the sermon based in Acts. So that will be interesting. But that's about all there is going on up here in Michigan. I am going to be working on grad school applications this week, and hopefully spending time with Linda Propst again and Sarah Poehler this week! I will be excited to see familiar faces.
