Sweet Thing

Dear Nia,

The title song is "Sweet Thing" by Rufus ft. Chaka Khan. I love this song, another one that I'd heard before but never really took notice of until I was in DC. It has a great groove. I'm sure you won't appreciate it but I like it.

Anyway, I'm back, boo-bear! I'm actually looking at you text in the living room as I type this. Well, I know I told you that I didn't go do Howard's campus but that's a lie. On my last day there, I made the decision to see the campus that my sister might be spending four years of her life on and I loved it!

Where you might be spending some time in the near future???

The Chapel

The yard

They had lots of cool, modern sculptures throughout the campus

For mommy. Every black, Greek organization had a tree.

More of these sculptures... I'm sure there's a story behind this. This was in front of the student union.

Like many parts of DC, you're on the water!

The Founder's Library. Probably the most famous building on campus.

I really enjoyed my little self-guided tour. The campus was quite dead, no students for mile but the people I did run into-- office workers, faculty, maintenance folks-- were really friendly. The campus is huge as far as I can tell. I think I probably only saw a quarter of it but I just wanted to take a sneak peek and scope out the area for you. I think you'd love it and I highly encourage you to apply!

Overall, I have to say that it was one of my favorite parts of DC to visit. It was definitely a good way to round out the end of the trip. What a wonderful city. I hope you get to spend some long-term time there in the future like I did. We have awesome, fun family members there. The food is great. There's public transportation. The people are super nice. Overall, it's a great place to be.

Also, I might have told a little white lie about not getting you anything in DC. Look in your closet.

Love ya!
Imani
