So the traveller returns. After a whirlwind weekend in DC and Lancaster, VA, I am home in New York. The open house went well and I have a great tenant. Laura's wedding was beautiful, on a lake-fringed spit of land with a big house and towering trees. We had a great time. I survived another encounter with my own personal kryptonite, the incredible, edible egg (in time to attend the wedding, yay!). I saw the Simpson's movie with John (amazing!) and we eventually decided to just be friends. My trip to Angola was canceled due to difficulties in completing the visa application. While I'll miss the money, I'm very happy to have two weeks back in New York before classes start!
What a crazy summer. As I left for the bus yesterday evening, John and I laughed about how it seemed like ages had past -- and also like I'd only left last week. I'm sitting in our apartment, surrounded by boxes of clothes and shoes, just as I was in May packing up for my subletter or last August during the move. The scene is the same, but the feeling is different. It's still not quite home yet, but this time I'm excited and confident that I'll find a fun and amazing place in this big city.
Thanks for keeping up with my travels! Hope to see you soon!

Many of you may be saying, "Wait -- isn't Kate in grad school now? Doesn't that mean she's poor for life? How can she afford to go to all these random places this summer?" I would like to thank Shelby White and the late Leon Levy for providing a scholarship to every first year student in good standing at the Institute of Fine Arts. This generous couple felt that young students should explore their scholarly and aesthetic interest in art during their first summer at the Institute. Thank you very much, Ms. White, for your continuing support of this scholarship program. I am one of many very grateful recipients!
In Greece, I will be funded by the NYU Samothrace archeological program, run by Professor James McCredie.
