In Limbo Between Mind and Body

In the last few days I've drank so much coffee that the phrase "my brain is melting" has become a staple utterance. The reason for this, in two words: retail job. Arriving from an academic tour high right into a sell-your-soul-to-satan-for-money kind of low can only be endured with copious amounts of caffeine.

Thankfully, I am leaving the country once again, to visit Northwestern University in Evanston (right next to Chicago). Initially, I wasn't going to visit it, but then I decided that it would be silly not to. What have I got to lose? It's a fantastic program with fantastic faculty members. They absolutely deserve a visit. I fly on Monday morning and return Wednesday night. Ahh, the sweet flavour of anticipated travel.

Among other activities, I've been keeping busy (translation: procrastinating more useful tasks) with a new marvel of Interwebs teknologie: Looklet.com. Just see what amazing looks it has allowed me to create!




Achingly chic, aren't they? I would absolutely wear all three (and I do wear similar things). But this is nothing compared to the things my lovely friend pledgerose creates over at her fashion blog Aduial Reverie...

Tah tah for now!

New England and West Philadelphia

Tomorrow, at the indecently early hour of 7AM, I will be taking off on a plane that will bring me to the fair city of Providence, Rhode Island, home to Brown University's German Department, where I may or may not be a graduate student this coming September.























After that, I am off to Boston, Massachusetts, a mere 47 minute train ride away, to visit a very special person who resides in Cambridge and attends a very prestigious University there. I love Boston, and I hope to sit around in cafes for four entire days, exchanging romantic looks while surrounded by the faint and salty mist of the sea.






















The last destination, reached by enduring (or enjoying?) a 6 hour train ride is Philadelphia.

























And then it's sweet home Toronto, Ontario.
