The last 30 days

08.01.2003

I leave Kalamazoo on 30 August for my parents' home in Saginaw. From there, I fly to Bolivia just over a week later. I'll spend the next ten months gathering research for my dissertation on Bolivia's democratic system and institutions.

I might not return to Kalamazoo. I'll need to focus on writing my dissertation and seeking a faculty position at a small, liberal arts college on the East Coast.

Of course, I'm a bit nostalgic and trying to visit my old haunts and spend time w/ friends. I hope to make this a fun and memorable 30 days. And if anyone wants to visit me in Bolivia, I and my family will be at your every service.

Yes, please do come visit. I'd love for all my friends to see my Bolivia. It really is a beautiful country, in its own understated sort of way. And I've such hopes for it!

I am hoping to be there for Christmas, we will see what happens. I miss Kalamazoo, it was my home for 5.5 years and I miss my regular hangouts as well. But sometimes there is nothing better for the soul then a nice change of scenery.
