...in Kalamazoo (zoo zoo zoo zoo...)

Thursday morning in Kalamazoo, and for some unknown reason, I've managed to get up before the book exhibits open. I'm deeply impressed with myself. I think I've managed to line up a fairly interesting day of papers...now if I can just find my way to the book exhibit...

5 years ago, as an impressionable college sophomore still high off her first Old English course (what can I say, I've always been a bit of a nerd...), I made my way to WMU for the first time. I may be one of the few people who arrived at this crazy conference, took one look, and thought -- this is where I want to be. Oddly enough, no matter how often I end up in Michigan in the early month of May - it always makes me just a little bit happier, with the year just passed and with the year ahead.

Guess I'm in the right place, then. Off to Valley II!

Great meeting you, Anhaga, and I'm glad we got to see each around after the blogger breakfast.

Btw, I'm an idiot. I've been reading your blog on Bloglines and hadn't noticed that you're not going by the pseudonym anymore. Man, I am so glad the semester is over so I can recharge my brain!
