Last Summer and On and On

I have not updated in a year. It doesn't seem so long, and yet a world of things have happened since I last typed symbols onto a screen and uploaded them onto the web.

First, I'm living in Detroit. The Dutchman left and has been replaced by a tire mogul's son. Last summer began with a multitude of ambitions-knitting, reading, trips, moving across the Atlantic; ambitions that have been left incomplete.

I traveled to Germany, Greece, Seattle, Chicago, New York, Boston, Canada, upstate New York.

A college friend and I are discussing a joint blog, and I realized, looking over the old entries, how much I miss making collections of my personal aesthetic. I also miss having my own identity. I'm in grad school, as a future librarian or archivist. And after spending months wrapped up in my own despair, I've begun to make my way out of it...

All-Nighter

The work of four years' reward is in jeopardy.

I cried. But, I'll just have to pull through.

Brynnie Mawrie

On Thursday Alex showed me this book her mother got her when she was accepted into Bryn Mawr. I'd like a copy of my own, but it was published in 1903, so it is difficult to find one. I'll just have to go to John K. King Books like her mother.

Some images of Bryn Mawr books:

Here they re-used the old image from above:
