let me tell you about "rural"

hello to my dearestes -

i am in rural north carolina and am bored out of my mind. it's like the metroplex - town hall + big trees. but i don't have to live here for 4 years, so i'm fine. although most of the kids here seem to deserve a swift slap to the left face cheek, i've met some pretty incredible ones - some telling me stories of what it was like to be a woman and shave her head (she said she'd never do it again) and others talking about how they live on the same amount of money i make but ALSO raise a 6 year-old. yep.

why are conferences so boring? seriously. if anyone ever goes to an entertaining/ interesting conference, tell me about it. i have been to approximately 89 bajillion of them, and they kill me. except for 0.00004% of the people i meet. but that's probably the point. the "networking" - bleeeh

i'll be in durham (where duke university is) for 2 more nights, then chapel hill with laura (travelling pal from mexico). cant wait to see her. then sf for a few minutes, followed by san diego. ooooooh. saaaaan dieeeeego. i'm pretty stoked for that.

but for now i'll just enjoy the super tall trees towering around me everywhere i go.

love you guys. miss you guys. for the love.
