Well since the last time I blogged I frantically moved out of the dorm, started working at Dick's Last Resort in Baltimore, been interpreting regularly, and most importantly signed up for this years gathering! I was just reading old GNI informers and I came across the article written about me wining the natural man award. The article itself definitely reminded me of my goal and enthusiasm that
Now that Summer is almost here, well in DC it feels like it already, and the stress from school is done I can focus my attention on other things. Since I moved here I have started to take on more of an adult role than the lifestyle I had in Chicago. I came to this reason because in DC I'm starting a new career, graduate school, and living a lifestyle that reflects more of a professional. One
So since my last post, which was AUGUST, I have been living and breathing grad school. Accepting it as my full time job, I am successfully getting through it, but not without sacrifice. Other than school, I've been interpreting part time and going to naturist events here in DC. One thing that I am really enjoying about DC is the naturist community here and the GNI members that live here.
With grad school looming around the corner, missing the gathering, and leaving my friends in Chicago I cannot help but feel scared and excited at the same time. It is ironic at that high point of my naturist life was last year and the low point is definitely this year. I guess everything has to equal out; there is just too much change for me this year to really participate in naturist events.
I think it's funny that just after my last post about how unbusy I was the floodgates opened and I ended up being busy until I graduted. I never really thought that I would be this excited to actually be done, but it is a nice sense of accomplishment that I am feeling at the moment, and I am very excited about what's next. I have all but given up on the idea of graduating while still being in
Ok so before I get into the subject of the blog, I want catch people up on what's been going on in my life and why I haven't updated since January. My semester has been pretty laid back, but getting my research going and applying to grad school has taken up most of my time. I am happy to report that I have been accepted to grad school, so I will be relocating in the fall. It is a bundle of
Naked College Student: thoughts from a young Naturist
As we are all trying to get through until summer I find myself wanting to not be in my apartment on my days off, but I soon realize how I do not want to venture outside since Chicago is not the best place to be in the winter time. I was looking through my emails one day when I found that someone had posted old GNI photographs in a yahoo group that I belong to. Now I don't know the formal
With visions of linguistics dancing in my head and paying my bills; I would have to admit the topic of naturism had not come up. Not to say I haven't discussed the topic, infact, sometimes it is the main subject at hand. Even my friend whom I hadn't seen in a while wants to give naturism a second try and possibly wanting to put something together. That notion surprised me, because I would have
Well I definitely had a busy summer. Although I really just worked the entire time, I got the "employee of the month" title, and I was one of the top servers throughout the summer. After all of that I go to GNI only to receive the Natural Man Award. I can't say how much of an honor it is to receive this award. As soon as I got home I told everyone about it, although they weren't as excited as
I like it here. When I go to the other swimming pools they all look at my legs. When I come here they look at me.
