Summer Travels

I was going to write about how rainy and cold it is here and how irritated I am at a student's father, but I won't (at least not in any detail).

So I'll write about my plans for summer travels instead. So far, Ian and I have several trips planned:

1) Boston in June--I get to go to Boston for a conference and a little bit of work, but since they're paying for my trip and I'm going anyways, Ian will come with me! We'll get to spend an entire weekend and then a couple of evenings exploring a city that I've never been to, but considered moving to after college.

2) Chicago in June (maybe)--Ian is going to a Holocaust Educator's class/conference/thing at Northwestern for 2 weeks, and if I can swing it, I'm going to try to go up for the weekend in the middle. (So Sara, if you read this, let's try to have lunch!)

3) Berlin/Poland in July--Ian got a grant from the school to go to Berlin and Poland to plan for a class he'd like to teach and to study Holocaust memorials. Which means that all we have to do is pay for my flight, some lodging, and food. I've never been to either place, so I'm very excited. The perks of being married to a foreign language/literature professor...

I think maybe another short trip or two may be in the works...I'd like to get back to NC to visit old friends. Now I just need to find a job that will pay me to travel at my leisure...
