I have all but finished this current semester. I have a project due for a class in dramatics which will round out the whole thing nicely. I am directing the first scene from the Sam Shepard play ‘True West’. I have my work assigned for the summer session during which I will write my senior capstone thesis on unification in the former Yugoslavia and be done with that. So far so good.
I am still waiting on the results of my CBE work for my previous career and as they have made me jump through many flaming hoops of fiery shit, I have a feeling I will get nothing for my labors. For Christ’s sake…16 credits? It’s not like I’m asking for a degree or anything…
I leave for the Balkans on April 27th..23 days from now I’ll be sitting in an airport waiting to fly to Vienna. I’ll attend the AA convention in Zagreb, head to Belgrade to hang with friends for a spell, and then off to the AA convention in Greece. This will be my fifth Greek convention and my third in Croatia. I am hoping for nice weather. During this time I will also be conducting interviews with Balkan locals in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia about there lives during the Tito years. There is nothing like field work to pump up the old thesis!

I’ll try to be more bloggish in the future, but to be honest I have another blog that is not so anonymous that I have focusing on these days. I’d show it to you but…
