Portland...
I'm sitting in a hotel room in Portland, Maine - drinking The Shipyard IPA and watching tv with my dad.
We arrived here late last night. Today we drove to Brunswick, and visited Bowdoin College. It seems like a pretty nice place. If they offer me a bunch of scholarship money, I might end up there. Then we kept going north, to Colby College. Here I had an interview with some man, which went quite well, and then saw Horacio and Nikolai (if you don't know them, you should!) They are both doing well, and both seem to greatly enjoy school there. We went out to eat and had miscellaneous discussion from Lars von Triers film 'de fem benspænd' to travelling in Cambodia. Damn nice food, and damn nice company.
Tomorrow we'll drive to Vermont, to visit Middlebury College, where I've got another interview scheduled. Also, we'll grab some lunch with Sebas, Anton, Farhan, Beslan, et al... Will be great to see these people again, most of whom I haven't seen in at least 1.5 yrs.
I always get a bit giddy when I see these people I haven't seen in so long. But after 2 minutes, it's like no time has passed, and the talk is as jovial and pleasant as it was sitting outside smokers corner in Flekke.
Ok, another beer, another cigarette, and then some sleep.
See everybody in Kzoo on Saturday.
Everybody else.... come and visit me!
