May 14th

athens
7.5 miles

i left my house around 7:30 to run as the sun set over the classic city. graduation is over, students are leaving, and all of a sudden my city is calm. i crossed intersections and roads with no traffic and swiftly ran down roads without seeing a car pass by. it was different but good. i had previously taken two days off. the last two days had been full of work and hanging out with friends before our dreaded good-byes. my legs felt fresh and i felt like i was moving quicker than usual. i'm not one to feel the pain of good-byes right away. they are something that i put off until reality sinks in. during my run i thought about how our friendships just happen. they fall into place and then it's up to us to work to maintain and intentionally get to know the people who we care about. i've grown to love the classic city and i've only been here for 7 1/2 months. it's funny to think that a place where roots are deep, is a place full of temporary residents. not many of the students here will make it their home after school. i'm pretty sure i won't be living here after i'm finished with grad school but you never know. i'm so thankful that i've gotten the chance to live here temporarily because all of it's blessings will leave permanent impacts.

  1. Utility sinks are generally more heavy duty such as stainless steel, cast iron or toughened plastic and they are made in sizes that will fit whatever space you have available. The more usual sizes might be single or double basins but it is also possible to get triple utility sink basins.
