in my element

I am here.
I am in a city.
I live in an old row house on Capitol Hill.
My next 36 hours are mine to do with as I please.
I cooked myself eggplant parmesan last night & can keep the leftovers all to myself.
I live 3 blocks from a metro stop.
There are sidewalks.
I do not have a roommate & have a private sink.
My per diem is $15 - an amount that was supposed to last me 6 days at orientation.
I have gone out for coffee twice today.
I can receive phone calls - not just make them.
The people watching is interesting.
The museums are free.
I get to go to church tomorrow where the people will accept my beliefs.
I do not yet detest any of my housemates.
