So I'm trying to get an outline together for my anthropology paper on expatriates and questions of identity. Although work has got me majorly stressed out, the reading is fun and very timely, as I am currently planning to move to Europe after I graduate. Hopefully this summer will give me a good taste of what that would be like. So as I'm working on this, I get an email from the Yukon tourist board asking me to do a survey. This is a result of reading Lost Highways by William Least Heat-Moon, which, though it's all about a road trip across America, got me fired up to do a Canadian cross-country road trip, and so one night I stayed up late signing up for free travel literature from all the Canadian territories. So the first 50 people who complete the survey get a free Yukon poster. I hope I made it. Here is a link to the page I got after finishing:

I hope the trip really does happen some day. This summer is Hungary, the next hopefully Paris...maybe that will work out nicely, then, by doing Canada after I graduate.
Missing: Exeter (especially the annoying parts, like going to driver's ed in the snow at night, and the stale smell of my room senior year in the winter, and the stupid gross couch in the common room), Steve, US Open with crocheting at the beginning of the semester, Wawa pretzels and driving around with Chris at night, and my brother. Also, time to do anything except work, stress about work, and let stress about work ruin my Ingmar Bergman.
