July 11: field comments, written after
After the beginning of July, we got really busy and I had to start using internet day for apartment shopping, so I didn't have time to write little messages. So, this is pretty much just extended picture captions, cuz that's the easiest way to narrate my adventures!

June 1, period 4: more field stuff (after-the-fact)

Go back in time! Try and remember the highlights of your life and remember all the times you didn't have to cram for a 100 question test, stay up late finishing homeowrk, and working 2 jobs a week making little pay ( Read more... )
