Just read your comments...

Hey, I just read your comments. Thanks for the encouragement Janet. Jonathan, I was more nervous about getting an advisor I didn't like than being told "no." The faculty have a long meeting where they discuss who will work with whom. So if anyone said "no," I would probably never know. Anyway, I like Adria a lot, so it all worked out. Thanks for asking.

Collin...the food? This is what you're most interested in?!? It's fine. The veteran students start heading into town for dinner early in the residency. The new students usually hang with the cafeteria until they can't stand it any longer (day 7 or so). I'm trying to be a happy medium--go out with friends but be frugal and healthy. By the way, Warren Wilson is a working farm, so they butcher their own beef, make their own yogurt and grow veggies. Which is all well and good. But tamale pie is tamale pie, no matter where they got the meat. On the other hand, especially given world events, I try and remember to be thankful for abundant food and shelter and not complain or say things like, "THIS is supposed to be CHINESE food?"

Speaking of food...has anyone read MY YEAR OF MEATS by Ozeki?
