As junior year rolls around, I notice many a friend packing their bags for some of the most exotic parts of the world, including but not limited to Chile, Paris, Senegal, Saint Pete, Buenos Aires, and London. And what better way to chronicle such adventures than through a blog? Witty titles such as Mi Vida Como Una Madrilena (My Life as a Madrid-ian by Kristen), Из России с Любовью (From Russia with Love by Danielle), and of course, Leopard in Leningrad all highlight the adventurous experiences of studying abroad. Unfortunately this leaves the resident student- namely, me- feeling left out. Here is my tribute to life as a aborigine.
Adventures: I may not be overseas, but I did kayak down the Potomac the other day with my Dad. On a Lewis-and-Clarkian expedition, we sailed about .3 miles downriver to the Kennedy museum.
New Food: I'm seriously considering eliminating my meal plan entirely. Hello Annie's, generic angel hair pasta, and English muffin-egg n cheese sandwiches.
Cultural Immersion: My roommate, Morgan, had her entire extended family over for dinner Friday night. Days later, the apartment still reeks of Shabbat dinner.
Because I'm so busy exploring this not unfamiliar territory, it'll be unlikely I post again for some time. Do call me (country code 011 + 860 + 810 +0885) to catch up!
Ciao,
Earl
