How far can you walk in "kinda" Hiking Boots?


My mom bought me these shoes. They are kinda like low hiking boots. They're comfortable and they keep my feet warm, but I wonder what walking in them all day will be like. The soles give and there's plenty of room for me to wear 2 pairs of socks, I just wonder what they'll be like.

In other news, I can't find Crystal - the hair guru. This could ruin an entire trip! Just imagine, I am at the massive day of service event, and MICHELLE OBAMA (I just love her!) walks by. She is impressed with all the volunteers working and then spots my hair; a slight grimace comes over her face just as tons of people with cameras, including national photographers capture her disapproval of my hair. I am caught, in the national media with the FIRST LADY giving me the "don't come out here again with your hair like that" side-eye deluxe. This could be mortifying...

OK, seriously, Michelle Obama would probably not be so judgmental of someone working really hard, but who wants to be immortalized by even their own camera with insane hair? I'll just redouble my efforts tomorrow.

I don't mean to trivialize the importance of this historic occaision, but really, I know I'll be there. Beyond being there and not making a huge fool of myself, this should be about meeting people, having fun, and seeing old friends. There are people I have truly missed who will be in DC. Hi to Gigi, Lisa, Norman, Tish, and everyone else I'll be trying to make time for. Whether we're sitting/standing/riding together or don't even get to see each other on the National Mall - I'm glad to be sharing this experience with you all.
