Gone From the Internet So Long!

So I realize that I haven’t posted since Monday, and I have been writing entries mostly every other day, but it’s hard to post them when the days are so busy. Today was a nice resting day, it looks like weekends might be something of a breather sometimes. Although we’re doing so much travelling soon and then there’s these papers that we have. So we’ll see how long this lasts. Some of the other Fellows and I were laughing about how we keep hearing stories about Ben (our assistant tutor, a Fellow five years ago) and other people had these adventures. But how?, we asked. When did they have time?

Lauren, my roommate & fellow Fellow, just got an iPhone. We went to the AT&T store today to buy it & set it all up & all that. It’s weird: I didn’t want one for the longest time, because I didn’t want to be constantly in touch with the world. But now I’d like one: it’d be nice to have an easy way to keep not out of touch with the real world. I know there’s so much going on out there. MT is off in India having crazy rocking adventures and Janny is at home preparing to move to Europe. So much is going on in the world and I don’t know what any of it is. The real importance is keeping in touch with the world and my friends and family.

This weekend is the Deerfield Crafts Fair. It’s all around Memorial Hall and on Memorial Street. Typical looking street fair thing. Lauren and I went over in the afternoon to get books out of the Library in the middle of it. The amount of books I brought back was unfortunately heavy. My shoulders hurt. If there’s anything left in the cartography section from my object paper.

Did I mention? I should. My object (for my object study) is a map of Springfield from 1835. It’s cool. We’re all frustratingly lacking in details about what we need in this object study – so I can’t really tell you too much about it. And my research project is going to be a study of a newspaper printing business in Greenfield between 1818 – 1825. I’m looking forward to learning about that – although not the amount of stress that I’m anticipating from the thing. Hmm.

I need to sleep, but I’ll try and write more tomorrow before finding the interwebs and getting on the posting side of this.
