Home Sweet Home

Dearest Followers,

Wanted to let you know that I arrived, safe and sound, back on American soil about two weeks ago!

The jet lag knocked me outta commission for a few days...

And the 4am  jetlag-induced-wakeups were unpleasant...

"Well now that I'm awake, I guess I'll just play Candy Crush on my phone
 until the sun comes up."

But I'm back!

I celebrated the 4th of July in style with my extended family in Cincinnati, which included hot dogs hamburgers, sparklers, and the time-honored tradition of throwing snappers at other people.

I also drove out to Kansas to find a new apartment for my grad school livin', hence forth to be referred to as "starving gracefully".  (And as my Grandma reminded me, if I ever need money, selling organs is always an option. My kidney to the highest bidder!)  After days of searching, we eventually found an adorable one bedroom with a balcony within walking distance of campus!  So now I have a place to live!

I also got my grad school reading list and desk copies for the classes I'm teaching.

LIKE A REAL GROWN-UP AND EVERYTHING.

It's the little things, people.

I'm wrapping up July with the glorious annual celebration of my birth (woohoo!) and more various family vacations.

Unfortunately, I might not have steady internet access while I'm traveling, so my posts will be sporadic. But I still owe you guys two more posts - FAQ and the End of the Chemnitz Year Review - so keep checkin' the blog and the Facebook page.

Lots of Love,
Your Humble Blogger
