Staying in Touch

I'd love to get mail. Always a nice surprise to get something in port. Addresses and timelines for sending letters is on the page below. If you send me your address (via my email address) I may just surprise you with a postcard. Hope to get some correspondence.

Packing Insanity

Well, I managed to pass my dissertation proposal on Friday morning. Begged the doctor for a prescription to help with my epic case of poison ivy, and have been running around town trying to get my crap together before I head to the airport at 0400 tomorrow. (I'm back to using nautical time). I know I'm not mentally prepared for this journey yet b/c I haven't had a chance to take a breath. I guess that's what Tuesday will be for. A day of rest, reflection, and relaxation before I jump into SAS yet again.


Time to get back to sorting through all my stuff and deciding what to bring, what not to bring, and all the little things I know I'm forgetting. (like my camera, which I just remembered. Phew!). Bye Austin. See you in September!

P.S. For those of you whop want to follow my travels. Check out the map below of where I'll be sailing.

One week away!!

In one short week I will be flying out to Nassau, Bahamas for my one day of relaxation before boarding the MV Explorer one again for another adventure. Having spent the last three months getting to know my fellow Student Life Team members via Facebook, I'm excited to meet everyone and get rolling on the high seas.

Before I board the plane, I have a few tiny hurdles. First, my dissertation proposal meeting on Friday has my stomach in knots. I also have to get some paperwork finished for my campus job, and get most of my IRB application finished for my dissertation study. Oh yea... and somewhere in the midst of all this, I need to think about packing too. Phew!
