Ms. Vedral Goes To Washington: One Year Out or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love DC
A year ago this coming Friday, I stepped off a Bolt Bus into a balmy 70+ degree day in my new home in Washington DC. My stuff had been moved down days before. Riding down in a U-haul, in a makeshift “middle-seat” with my cousins, the weather had been cold. There was still snow…
