This morning as I was walking, I realized there are things I really love about being at HBS:
I love my early morning walks along the river, while the traffic is quite and I can hear God along with the rower's paddles licking of the water.
I love Cambridge -- a place to pick up spare change off the ground, watch interesting people (I mean really interesting), and find a pretty good cup of clam chowder.
I love studying in my room and looking up to see my "encouragement shrine" from all the cards and notes you have sent me (see picture).
I love that there are no cars on campus, but many bicycles.
I love that a really nice lady cleans my room (although it is very neat) everyday and gives me fresh towels and linens. I love that the dry cleaner picks up from and delivers every day right to my bedroom.
I love that somebody else makes the coffee every morning.
I love my classes and getting hear some of the smartest people in the world give lectures. I love watching the MBA students creating a future for themselves.
I love Baker library inside and out - but the view of it in the sunshine is stunning.
I love the old buildings that display history and the new ones that show progress. I love that the backside of every building is as pretty as the front.
I love that I can get ready to go anywhere in 30 minutes. I can reach most anything I need without having to move my whole body :) And if I do have to move, it's no more than five steps from door to the other side. I love that my wardrobe is simple.
I love that I have met God here, in times of great loneliness and that He keeps telling me He is all I need.
I love my view, especially on a sunny day.
I love that there are so many viewpoints here about so many things, that I am free to say what I want. I love that I am surrounded by great intelligence on some many subjects. I love that I have learned so much.
I love that the cherry blossoms have bloomed -- you said they would Lynn!
And I love that at the end, I can go home -- to the place and people I love.
So that's where I am headed for a few days~
Thanks to all the people who love me -- I love being so loved by you and I love you!
