Hello, Good Morning

This blog is an experiment for me. I've just moved in to my new home - an urban graduate theology school in the the nation's capitol, where I'll be getting my master's in pastoral studies. I'm 24 years old, married, pro-choice, Catholic, and feminist. I'm posting here under an old alias so good friends and family will know this is me (useful for keeping tabs on my exiciting life) and anonymous enough to protect my identity from ne'er-do-wells who would use it against me. I'm highly opinionated and will likely be using this space to mouth off when I have no where else to do it.

I've named this blog "The Urban Cloister." My school is small enough to contain the residence halls, classrooms, library, administration, and chapel all in one building. I could live the next two years and never set foot outside into my favorite city, Washington, DC.

This is an attempt to record my life as it happens. So it's 9:46 a.m. EDT and I'm in the library. More as it comes.
