We're moving!


Hello all!

Apologies for never writing about the end of the semester! I always find it really hard to write during that last bit—first it’s finals and I’m too busy, then it’s break and I’m burnt out (or Christmas, which is even more time consuming), and then it feels too late to even bother.

But now I can give you a brief summary of those last two weeks! I went to see Frozen (wonderful) and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (disappointing) with friends, spent an insane number of hours working on final papers and creative writing editing, and nearly froze to death in the insanely cold temperatures. Then I packed up everything at Mac and went home to the lovely Christmas madness that is my family in late December.

All in all a pretty marvelous period of time, if a bit exhausting! I wrote some papers I’m quite proud of, managed to get on the Dean’s List for a semester I struggled with more than most, and had a great and chaotic Christmas. Huzzah!

For January, I got to visit Clara in Davis and my friend Amy in Torrance and then spent LOTS OF TIME packing for my insane and fantastic study abroad adventure. And now I’m sitting on the first of my planes on my way to Florence (by way of Miami and then Dusseldorf, but whatever).

Anyway, this blog is mostly a note to tell you all that the blogging set-up is going to be a bit different this semester! I signed up to do blogging for my study abroad program, which will be happening over at a wordpress blog called Lily Adventuring. I’ll be (hopefully) posting on that blog once a week, day undecided as of yet (although probably either Saturday or Monday). That blog will be a little less personal—since it’s for a wider audience I won’t want to share quite as much. On this blog, probably either weekly or every other week, I’m going to post accessory blog posts—ones that assume that you’ve read whatever is on lilyadventuring and are hoping for further information. This may end up just being a few things—geeking out about papers, complaining, and yet more photographs.

Anyway, you should feel free to stop following thestrawberryimposter and switch over to lilyadventuring. Or, if you really feel like getting access to ALL the thoughts that I have, you can follow both. It’s up to you!

Love you all and thank you for sticking with my blog this far!
