Crazy the way that time flies. I find myself back to blogging after discovering a blog of an old friend that somewhat inspired me to get back on the train. My spare time seems to be quite limited these days, but I am hoping to make an attempt to get back into writing and take some time to release a bit of brain energy through the wobulous world wide web.
As a brief catch up, I am now back in the good 'ol USA. While my journey of living in Jerusalem was put to an end 8 months ago, my ability to escape "reality" and travel about the globe has continued. Upon my return to America, I somehow wound up in graduate school within a month, and began classes just weeks after. Thanks to the one above, who basically handed me this opportunity on a silver platter, I was admitted into the program with ease, and granted a Graduate Assistant position that enabled me to not only have a free ride of tuition, but also a (extraordinarily meager, but still existing) bi-weekly paycheck. The whole class and work thing has pretty much consumed my life- as those around me can attest to- however I did have the opportunity over my winter vacation to cross off a new location on my travel map- when I had the honor of spending almost a month in beautiful crazy South Africa.
This first post is going to be a short one, just a sampler to get back into the groove- but I am hoping to give a bit more attention to my blog these next few months, bring some new material to the screen, and express myself in a way that hopefully some people can enjoy. (Hopefully getting an idea of what I am up to- since I have come to the realization I am one of those people I formerly hated who just can't seem to keep good contact with those I often think about).
Peace and love, more to come on the journey to the southern hemisphere.
