Well, I’M HERE!! and finally found internet access. Woo hoo! I am a bit too dependent on the internet… well, I like to blog daily, at least, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. If I write a blog entry down, I’ll lose it, and who wants to write and then type it up when you can just type it to begin with. I’d rather be a daily blogger than someone who can’t put her cell phone down for a weekend. I CAN do that easily. Easily. So, if I don’t miss hearing people’s voices, but I do miss blogging, what does that say about me? Whoa.
So far here, I’ve written down some ideas, listened in on some great history & analysis of that history, met some rockin’ cool academics/geeks/teachers (Joe, Danielle, Amanda, Josh, Aleta, etc.), wrote a poem or two, driven around Kalamazoo in a little rental (this city & its surroundings remind me of Fargo & Mpls/St. Paul), and even shopped. [p.s. I did get to Chicago on time for my flight EVEN when they had to delay us, asking 14 people not to take the flight, since the flight to Kalamazoo was delayed as well. Gotta love the airline companies! My trip was not as much of a pain as Amanda's and Josh's, however.]
Time is flying by here… soon, I’ll be back in good ol’ ND preparing for a new semester with the oddest schedule yet. Things have been switched around, so now I am mainly teaching in the afternoons… seems like an awesome schedule (and it is), yet I am a morning person… it’ll all work out; it always does.
