Luddite on Board?

Oh people familiar with blogger, lend me thine expertise! I'm using the not-beta blogger and I'd like to set up that whole "I can look and see who looks at my blog" thing. I'd also like to get some kind of aggregator so I can see other bloggers' posts.

Now please, help a poor medievalist move from scroll to codex as it were!

Why I'm Here

I guess I should explain myself, now that I've given a few people this address. I'll be spending my summer working at an internship at World's Biggest Library (hereafter W.B.L.). This week I realized that I had never been out of my home state of California for longer than 3 weeks, so the three months away from my husband, my locale, and my peeps will be hard for me; but this is probably the coolest opportunity I've ever been given academically, so I have to take it and run like hell (because W.B.L. will take it away at any minute; I just know it!).

So for the next 6 months I plan to use this blog as a place to post all of my silly questions about living abroad; to talk about the plans that I'm making; and to keep my family and friends informed about what's going on in the wind up to my big move.

After that, this blog will turn into a place wherein I will describe my continuing shock at all things foreign and strange.

So, hello family and friends. Please feel free to leave comments, advice, and questions!

Get Thee to a Nunnery

Or at least a Lutheran dorm since that's where I've found housing for the summer (hopefully). It's really cheap, less than a quarter mile away from the British Library, and they throw in breakfast. So things progress.

Being the control freak that I am, it's very hard for me to get anything done when little things like 'having a place to stay during the summer' are up in the air. Now things can go back to normal, right?


P.S. -- This blog will primarily be a place for me to talk about my trip to London, preparing for said trip, and photos of my time there.
