I haven’t written here in awhile, I know. There hasn’t really been all that much free time lately, and when I do get the chance to sit down at a computer for awhile, I end up doing other things (even though I’m very aware of the neglected communication). There have been several times where I have sat down with the intention of writing for the blog, but when I actually try to start, I don’t feel like writing anything. I’ve had a similar experience with e-mails. I’ll think “ooo, I really want to e-mail so and so” and as soon as I get finished with the greeting I’m left staring at the screen.

I’m not exactly sure what to think of this pseudo writer’s block or why it is happening. To an extent I bet it has something to do with the way I am experiencing everything here, which is at this point a very let-things-wash-over-me type thing. So when I sit down to actually talk about what has been happening, I blank out, thinking “well, I don’t know… things just go.”

I definitely have a certain desire to organize and present my experience in nice neat little reports with dates and names of places and pictures with captions, but that has been a lot less possible than I originally had dreamt.

The only thing that motivates me to write here now is a paper that I have due tomorrow that is open in the other window. So, I’d better say no more than that I will write here again soon in a more complete way (once I turn this paper in tomorrow I should have more time on my hands). And all you who deserve e-mails: I have been thinking about each of you a lot, even if I haven’t been able to put those thoughts into something tangible.
