Ich bin Natasha
Tomorrow I leave for Mainz, Germany for a two week summer intensive program and conference. I confess myself to be scared shitless: I've never been to Europe, I've never done a "study abroad"-ish program, and I definitely have never been away from the hubby this long.
I'll be writing/discussing the American South and the Global South, specifically ancestral return migration, although I'm considering discussing only traditional return migration--the return of a migrant back to the South from the North--for ease and time constraints. -shrug-
Once I return, it'll be time to go back to studying for comps, working on the novel's second draft, and prepping for the new school year. I'll be posting photos as can, but...I hope to be struggling with my German with cute German citizens and explaining my work over wine, not trolling the internets!
