This blog began like many of my projects: with little planning or structure. In the spring of 2009, I studied abroad in Rome and documented my culture shock and growing relationship to Italian food. I continued discussing culture shock when I came back to America to live in North Myrtle Beach, SC for the summer. By the fall I was back in Wisconsin, but I liked talking about myself too much to stop blogging. Then I moved to Chicago for a year of simple living in community. Even though I can't find a job in my field, I fell in love with the city...so I'm going to stick around for a bit. Also, I read a lot. So there you have it.
