I'm a horrible blogger...



Well shoot. I have been seriously slacking in the blogging-department. I was pleasantly surprised to find three comments on my previous blog. People read my blog....wow. Before, I was doing this due to selfish motivation, but now I feel as if I'm here to entertain (this statement reminds me of a paper I just wrote about Degas' dancers, but anyway...) although I'm sure I have scared all readers of my blog away with my lack of committment. Okay, I need to tell myself that this is something that I'll want to have later. Yes, I'm a blogging-machine now.

I suppose I'll just start off with what's happening now, and later work my way backwards (or not...I make no promises). I've been here for more than a month and a half now. There are only two more weeks in this term...crazy. Honestly, I'm ready for this term to be over. I'm really excited about the break. Bobbie Jo will be visiting me the first two weeks. I think the plan for these weeks is to focus on Italy and Spain. Tyler will come later for ten days during the Easter holidays. I think his visit will be more low-key, taking in the British sites, and perhaps the famous Oxford/Cambridge boat race. I also think I'll be spending much of the six weeks with Jennifer. Her parents will be visiting the same time Tyler is here, so that worked our perfectly. She'll be travelling with Bobbie Jo and me as well. This weekend, I have been looking into specific places of where I would like to go. The Georgetown group has talked about going to Italy and Greece together during the last week and a half of break. I really hope this pans out. The beach on a Greek island--complete with the deep, blue Mediterranean and historic richness-- seems the perfect way to end our six week vacation. I believe we (Jennifer, Bobbie Jo, and myself) are getting Railpasses, so we'll have access to 18 countries!!
