an overdue update
Wow. It’s been a while since I last posted. It’s not that I haven’t thought of things to write. I just usually forget to sit down and write it when I think of it. Some memory, huh?
Since the last post, things have completely changed. I’ve relocated back to Birmingham, Alabama, where I’m headed back to graduate school to get my Master’s degree. Unfortunately, it would’ve been impossible to work full time to pay rent, and only school half time and finish within a considerable timeframe. Sometimes, I believe, it is good to be impatient. So, I blame my impatience on the ambition to do what I really want. What can you do?
For the summer, I’m taking a graduate seminar (one of only 2 offered this summer) on the history of Birmingham. I’m pretty excited about it, actually. It’s my belief that there are only a few people who really ‘get’ me… and Sassy is one of those. She’s so right when she said that Birmingham is an inspiration to me. It’s hard to be here, since it’s almost like claiming failure in D.C. (although, I will be back when I’m done), but the history here fascinates me. It really is an inspiration… an awkward one, but it definitely is something that I can’t put into words.
For the moment, I’m temporarily saying goodbye to the city of history and politics, and life as I’ve known it, and taking in as much history as my mind will allow, while concentrating on writing the greatest thesis about Birmingham that I can possibly write. For now, that’s my biggest concern.
