On Moving

Jul 25, 2006 16:57

Mostly I'm happy about the move, but packing always stirs up memories. For instance, though I have no particular love for the cliche French advertisements on my living room walls, I can remember buying them at a poster sale at uni during the first couple weeks of my MA in an attempt to break up the white space of the empty room. I've also had to ( Read more... )

What were the *wails* for?

I love Wales. I don't know why.

I'll tell Alice this. She has a particular pride in being Welsh. Hey, one step closer to seduction...

I hope packing and everything isn't proving too stressful for you!

If you're on campus in the next little bit, let me know. It's been too long since we last met up. :)

Thanks, lady. And sorry about your horrible job search. I'm actually pretty busy with packing and won't be on campus again before the move (my god--it's already tomorrow), but I'll be in touch again when I plan my next campus visit!

Hey there!

Thanks for the welcome back!

I actually feel quite good about the decision to leave Peace Corps for another time and move back to Australia while we can. It was definitely 50/50. We both miss Australia dearly, mostly because we knew the chances of staying beyond our masters was close to impossible...so we chose Peace Corps. However, Will is going back to school (again) so we'll be there for at least 2 yrs and then apply for permanent residency.

Peace Corps was hard, but it has nothing to do with why we'er moving back to Melbourne. I think that's difficult for some to believe especially after reading my blog!

Congrats on the move to London! Sounds lovely!

Cheers
