Dr MLK Day

So today Rachel, Doug and I went to the Washington National Cathedral for an MLK celebration. The cathedral was HUGE! Looked like Notre Dame in Paris. SO AWESOME! And I found out that the Washington National Cathedral was the last place MLK Jr preached. I thought that was so cool! They had different kinda of choirs sing a wide variety of songs from spiritual to hip hop. They had children's choir come sing too. So cute. Also a bunch of dancers who were really awesome. I wish I could dance like them. One of these days I'm taking a dance class. Anyways afterwards we went to explored the cathedral. SO many different chapels within the cathedral and it also had a crypt. Not that scary. The elevator ride down there was the scary part. The tombs had carvings of the person in 3D on top of the casket. Pretty neat. You could also sign your name in your state's book so say that you've been there. Of course I signed in CT's book.
I found it weird that when we went off campus today I saw people talking and immediately thought to myself "Oh people talk?" That was weird. You are all probably thinking "Yes Ruth. You're a meathead! Yes people talk!!! " lol
Chaz still not here. She is supposed to arrive tomorrow now.
My first class is at 930 :) ahhhhh! I hope I dont get lost. It's my biggest fear. I still dont know what the buildings look like inside so I will be walking into a maze. Hate mazes.
Last night alone yay. I think. It's going to be weird having a roommate now being by myself for five nights already!
