How I Miss You, Dear Internet...

That's correct - I don't have the internet here in Mississippi. I'm currently at the Waynesboro Public Library, but they block certain sites and other functions, so I can't make a proper update. I have lots to say about my spike in Mississippi so far and I have plenty of media to share with you too, but I guess that will have to wait!


I'm simply posting to reassure anyone who may be distressed; I will be thoroughly describing this spike once I am again securely connected to the rest of the universe! Nevertheless, here's a summary... This project has been amazing. We work 10-hour days, four days per week, which can be pretty tiring. Still, our living situation is incredible. We live in a beautiful state park and we were given amazing cabins that they typically rent out for over $100 per night. Basically, the staff has done all that they can to make sure that we enjoy ourselves during our month-long stay here.

The community is also incredible. People continuously offer us free meals, groceries and any other opportunities they can think of. We were also featured front and center in this week's issue of The Wayne County News! There are a couple of pictures of us accompanied by a description of our program and the work we're doing here. I've been on the lookout for the paparazzi, but luckily it seems I've managed to evade them so far. I'm sneaky - what else can I say?


That's all for now. I've got limited time and resources when it comes to the internet. Hopefully my next spike (which will begin in early March) will allow me to access the internet more reliably, at which point I will go into greater detail about this spike and provide pictures and videos.


That's all, folks. Hopefully I'll post again soon!
