Free Traveling

When I think back on all that has happened in 2009, travel seems to be the one constant. I have journeyed to so many new and exciting places (and old favorites), thus 2009 is being dubbed ‘The Year of Travel.’ Here’s the breakdown: – Walt Disney World (x2) – New York City (first time in April…now there’ve been too many trips there to count!) – London, Stonehenge and Bath – Paris (and Disneyland Paris, oh la la!) – Rome and Pompeii – Eau Claire, WI – Ohio – Providence, RI (and pretty much ALL over the state. It’s so big, after all…) – Massachusetts…Boston, et al

Sorry for the long absence, friends.  It has been an incredibly hectic semester.  One might even say that it’s been the worst semester I’ve ever had in grad school, but my very first semester at the ripe old age of 21 was probably just as bad, it was just so long ago that I can barely remember back that far. So, instead of whining about all the things in 2009 that stunk royally, I am going to focus on the positive and share some of the exciting moments of this past year, both significant and mundane: -  Won a summer fellowship. -  Wrote 2 dissertation chapters on that fellowship
