Day 7: Back to Daily Grind
Happy Friday the 13th (oogly boogly). I did actually make it back into town on Tuesday, which was a relief, and the flight was only a little bumpy on the way back. It’s not that grinding being back at school, but it is much darker than it was at home. It’s also much sunnier than…

Day 3, Semester 2: Somehow Still in Transit
I got dropped off at Logan by my beloved elder sibling on the 6th and discovered that my flight had been delayed for two hours. Ah well, the hazards of traveling in the winter I suppose. I found some kids from school who were on the same flight, and we joked about being plane cursed.…

(unexpectedly) Day 118: And Now, The Weather
I’ve had three separate flights canceled out from under me, and spent an ungodly amount of time on the phone and email rescheduling flights and hostels and inter-airport transport. Only to then re-book them the next day when the weather continues to be a little bit frightening. I’ve successfully booked plane tickets for Wednesday, when…

Day 115: In Which the Semester Rolls to a Close
I’ve given the last presentation, turned in the last paper, gone to a couple holiday parties, and very nearly eaten down the fridge. I have not, however, started packing. Ya win some, ya lose some. Maritime Anthropology was indeed a fun class, with maybe one of the most distractable professors I’ve ever had. We barely…

Day 109: In Which We Wrap Up Coastal Processes, and Turn Towards the Break
It has been a very busy week; it’s last week of Coastal Processes, and a lot of people left on Friday in lieu of taking the last week of classes. The fact that I’m going to be on a plane headed home in a week a little brain boggling (still quite bad at the linear…

Day 100: In Which There is One of Many Independence Days
Rabbit Rabbit! The funny thing about having had several recognized governments and a complicated relationship with the crown that originally colonized you, is that you get a lot of independence days. This is the 1918 independence, which was technically granted to the Kingdom of Iceland (which doesn’t exist anymore and is also sort of the…

Day 94: In Which Economics is Completed, and That Means I Get to Go To Bed
I’ve officially been here for more than 90 days, which is when most visas expire and they make you go home. For the record, 90 days is wildly long time to have free reign in another country. And it’s the strangest things remind me that I’m actually on foreign continent and not just weird part…

Day 86: In Which I Haven’t Bitten An Economist All Week, Can I Have A Cookie Please
This one is mostly complaining about neoclassical economics On the upside, it’s dark enough to get some lovely stars in the morning, but they photograph even worse than planets. On the other hand, we started Environmental Economics on Monday, and I’d actually forgotten how crossed-threaded I get with economists. I’ve been tempted to start four…

Day 80: In Which It Gets Darker and Rainer
So it is full and true dark when I get up for school these days; the sun rises about 9:45am, but it doesn’t clear the mountains until about 1 or 2 in the afternoon, and then sets at 4:30pm. It gets a maximum of a handspan above the horizon, and the low angle sunlight makes…

Happy Halloween
it’s much easier to make a mouse sized costume than a person (even a me-sized person) sized one, and the armpits are much simpler. I had a delightful time making a little rapier out of a paperclip too Happy Halloween!
