Rambles

I'm starting to form my summer reading list. Thus far, I want to read Passage to India, Heart of Darkness, Cold Comfort Farm, Orlando, and The Stranger (in French!!! I've already read it in English). Of course, I'm also going to be taking French, a graduate workshop, and possibly a class on post-colonialism. So, we'll see how far I get.

This weekend was fun and productive. I did some research in the library for India class and read a chapter for V&L Woolf class, but I also had social time. I went to Red Robin and then dancing on Friday night, which was really, really fun. Then, last night, I went to Natche Raho, the Indian Student Association's giant Indian dance competition. It was catered from Taj Mahal (possibly the only Indian Restaurant in town I've never been to-hehe), and the dancers were really impressive. A few groups did this thing where the guys supported the girls' stomach's and the girl's legs flew up in the air and they spun around and . . . it was really cool.

I miss Northbrook. I love the people and the mission and all that with One Ancient Hope, but I really miss Northbrook, too. I really felt like I belonged there, and my SaLT group really did care about and for me, and I miss Pflasterers, too, even though they're not at Northbrook anymore :-(. I had really wanted to visit them over spring break, but I've got SO much to study that it really didn't seem like a good idea. So, I'm hoping to see them in June or late May when I go down for Amber's wedding.

I'm going to Pittsburgh in 17 days! I'm so excited for my first professional conference! I still need to majorly revise my paper and do some further research, but it'll still be lots of fun. I love wearing suits and standing and talking in front of people and defending what I think! Hehe-I'm such a nerd! And I get to see Shari, which will be really great, too.

Well, I've rambled enough. I'm off to get ready for church!
