It's currently pouring and sunny outside. I love Oberlin

Team Kamitsuka has expressed concern for my capacity to take care of myself (buy groceries, do laundry, etc) in my present condition. After talking it over with my parents, I've decided to go home for awhile. I'm sad to leave Oberlin. I feel much more isolated in Madison because my community there is so spread out. I like being able to walk over to people's houses when I'm in the mood for a visit.

I really hope I can be back in Oberlin in time to carpool to the Peace Conference, because Rita Nakashima Brock, a leading feminist theologian, is going to be there, and she's agreed to meet with me to discuss her work. Linden, she's the one I was talking to you about in the hospital, remember? My seminar papers both draw heavily on her work. It's an opportunity I really don't want to miss.

So I've decided to use this time to rest, recover, and become more Emo. Let me know if you have any advice.

As far as being emo goes, you should situate your hair so that some of it is in your face. If you want, you could try writing bad poetry.

i really hope you can go to the peace conference, kathryn! i wish i could go too. i'm not sure that being emo is really a very good idea. but if you must, i would suggest, along with bethany's comments, that you wear skinny jeans, black rimmed glasses and crying while you sing. none of those things are that fun though, except for maybe the black rimmed glasses (i like wearing them as a disguise).

have a safe trip back to madison!
