Meeting Dr. Ruth!

I met Dr. Ruth at a Master's Tea on Monday! She's 4'7" and super charismatic. She could have been twenty. I had no idea Dr. Ruth fled Nazi Germany as a child and later served as a sniper for the Israeli army. She has pretty traditional views on sex, love, and family. I agreed with everything she said at her tea. :) Master T has invited Chinua Achebe to Yale as a TD Chubb Fellow. I went to his lecture this afternoon in the dining hall and was mesmerized by the man's voice. I can't imagine turning on the radio and not being able to identify his or Dr. Ruth's voice. Both are incredibly distinctive. Dr. Ruth said that she was advised to go to speech school to correct her accent but never had the time. She believed it helped her in radio to be so recognizable. Chinua Achebe's voice just about stops time. Every word just seems so emphatic. He certainly doesn't word vomit the way I do. I can't wait to hear more from him at the TD lunch tomorrow!

In other news, I'm praying. A lot. Asking God to show me his plan for my life. I think my biggest struggle will be turning over control of my life to a power greater than myself. At the same time, I think it is the one thing that will bring me peace.
