Alright, so since I'm procrastinating, I decided to write the follow-up about my experience being homeless. I feel a little like the subject has been beaten to death, but now that I'm back to being housed, I want to write some more. It was really odd to go into the caf and get my own food.

Didn't sleep much at all. It was so cold outside and I contemplated going into the chapel to sleep, but I didn't know where to go and I didn't want to ( Read more... )

Well, my first two hours of being homeless are almost done. It's pretty warm here in the library, and it's hard to type because my hands are so cold. I couldn't have my mittens on because we were making signs and putting them around campus. Colette and Emily already visited us and bought all of us hot chocolate, which was really nice of them. Not ( Read more... )
