Has it really been three months?

Jun 29, 2014 13:26

I haven't posted anything since March! And I haven't really participated in fandom, either. I've read a bit of fic here and there: quite a lot of Blake's 7, but it didn't result in me wanting to write any, also everything good there is for certain pairings in Discworld/Pratchett fandom (namely: City Watch, and some Witches... and I would have ( Read more... )

What a wonderful opportunity! You'll have a great time.

There are frequent trains that run from New Haven to New York City - which is in the quintessence of an American City (and thus nothing like central Europe!) Being there for a full year, you'll get to experience all the seasons of NYC. I recommend frequent visits!

You'll need proper winter clothes for CT weather: parka & snow boots, wool hats & mitts.

Snow boots! Whoa, okay, that is EXOTIC. (I, uh... actually had to google that to get an idea of what you mean :D) I come from a place where winter is something that happens for about a week per year... unless it's like this winter, which didn't happen at all.

Connecticut in winter!

It depends on the year, but some years you'll need boots from Nov - March.

I hope that your housing is already organised - it can be difficult to find a decent place to live in a university town.

this is very exciting news! i have no opinions on yale or new haven or anything, but i am looking forward to hearing yours.

also - ahem - yes. we will do an editing party soon. and anytime you want to listen to that music, there's plenty of it building up in the radiosonic account.

A bit late to the party - I've been off livejournal lately - but congratulations! Yale *is* a big deal and it's a wonderful opportunity. Like the others said, it's a very convenient location - only about an hour to NYC by train, and not too far from Boston, either. Washington, DC is only about 3 or 4 hours away as well, so take the opportunity to visit the capitol! My great-aunt was a professor there and she really thrived on the opportunities that the location offered ( ... )
