Homelessness in Athens

Believe it or not, I'm talking about myself. I am homeless in Athens. The plan has been to bounce around from couch to couch living out of my suitcase so as not to wear out my welcome and get in people's way. I thought this would be fun, getting to have slumber parties every night w/ different people. However, although the people are great and don't smell, I do, and it's a rougher life than I thought. It's even harder when there's no end in site to this homelessness and I've been doing this for 2 weeks. I get off of work around 5:45 everyday. Then I go to the Student Learning Center and just chill for 2 hours because where else is there to go? Then I figure out a place to sleep, and get in bed by 12.

For the past 22 years, having a home, or a place to call my own, I have definitely taken for granted.

Thanks to all the people who have offered their homes and to these people who have put up with me for a night or more:
Andrew Mulkey
Yellow House Fellows
Joanna Frazier, Betsy Hunter, Katie Griffith
William Jewitt, Joseph Morris

P.S. The homelessness is over as of Sunday, August 27th. I'll be in apt 315 in College Park with some buddies from work. Thank God. Honestly, I could not possibly ask for a better situation. I am tempted to sing the doxology right now, but I will spare you from my typing voice.
