An Intention

I intended to blog my way through Smith College, throwing forth pithy insight and commentary about a 55-year-old's return to college for her BA in English as an Ada Comstock Scholar. Didn't happen.
I did blog my way through a 6-week stint at Trinity College in Oxford the summer of 2013 -
-but I think mostly because I was a bit lonely in between my tea drinking and scone eating and my two weekly classes. Another story…The Big Summer: somestuff59.blogspot.com

I figure if I title a blog and write a line or three, then I am committed. Furthermore, I am speaking to a creative non-fiction writing class at Smith on Monday morning about my venture with a follow-up report when I return.  Oh, the venture:  a month-long trip to retrace childhood steps that wandered through the Kathmandu valley in Nepal and its environs for almost 4 years when I was 12-16 years old. My mission is to reconnect with place and people. I will visit my old school and talk to kids about their experience as third-culture kids, TCK's. I want to hear their stories, especially focusing on how the internet has changed their experience from mine. I want to write about all this.
