I’m leaving today to go participate in Eastern Michigan University’s annual historic preservation field school.  We will be working with the Leelanau Conservancy on preservation efforts at the DeYoung Farmstead.  I’ll be working with the house and site interpretation team; we are going to work on researching and creating a cohesive interpretive message for the site/for the docents.

Dear, Michigan People,

Be my friend.  The majority of the people in my graduate program are not interested in similar recreational activities.  I am interested in the following (not limited to this list): movies, historic houses, museums, punk/hardcore/motown, going to shows, books, hiking, karaoke, FOOD… blah blah lots of stuff.  This is kind of pitiful, but I’m here until end of summer 2013 & I would really like to meet some awesome people.

Sincerely,

Sarah

PS. Come hang out at the Bleached show next week.

School,

Why are you frustrating me when there are still two weeks until you start?  I would greatly appreciate the override being processed to get me into a weekend course. 

Thanks, Sarah M.

Okay, so I’m all settled in Ypsilanti & have just been exploring & singing karaoke.  Grad school doesn’t start until last week of the month… so lots of free time.   So I ask you the internet… HOW do you make friends when you aren’t in school?   tips/pointers?  everyone I ask this question to seems kind of befuddled.. obviously taking it to the internet is the best choice?
