Greetings from the South

So here's the deal—before leaving Chicago to come home for the summer, I told some of my friends that I would start a blog. A few friends were writing travel blogs, as they were spending their summers abroad, and I figured that rural Southern Virginia might as well be a foreign country (at least in comparison to Chicago), so why not report back from it? However, my summer job as a camp counselor at the Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) at UVA left me with little time to start blogging. Now that I'm home with over a month to go before I'm back to UChicago, I need something to prevent myself from dying from boredom in a county that has only one stoplight, so here I am! We'll see where this goes.
