Off Again

Tomorrow evening I fly back to Amman. If only I didn't have this cold and caugh. Crazy. I will start posting more. Get excited!

A few thoughts....

A few things I wrote which I never typed up:
Everyone looks straight out of a catalogue. Of course there are exceptions and people kept back for sports, but I am 2-6 years older than these people. I feel better checking out the professors. On the first day I sat in on the wrong class- oops.

Still reeling from the Arava reunion. Bowling with foreigners is fun. Sitting in a coffee shop in Harvard Square is WAY different than Williamstown. Not all middle-aged people here are professors or somehow college-affiliated. There are graduate students and regular people – so refreshing.

Mini-update

The freshman are arriving. They travel in packs around campus, hardly venturing into "town". Large cars from out of state are getting parking tickets on Spring Street - I didn't realize they enforced parking rules here. The Sherborn house is almost sold. Life in Williamstown is official now. If only I wasn't still living here full time or knew when the end would come, it would be much more enjoyable.

Hooya

I have become quite used to seeing convoys of soldiers in trucks, just not in my own country.
