After a day being shown around town by one of dad's many, many cousins here I decided it was time to force myself in to BC time and out of Michigan/Toronto (I was sick of waking at 5am - which was useless here and even useless for catching people from home online).
The result was getting nowhere near enough sleep and waking at 6am, which I guess is a victory of sorts....
At least the manic levels of sleep deprivation are still a long way off (or possibly Kalamazoo specific - the town had vile water, there must have been something in it...).
My tour of town yesterday proved the attractions to be industry and lots of pointy trees. So very many. This seems to be dedicated forestry country - I had previously assumed they'd hidden farms away behind it, but it seems that isn't so much the case. Just pointy trees. I should upload some more of my photos, being that they are more than a week, and 3000+ km, behind where I am now. It may happen later - currently I'm too darn lazy.

Ha! Caught up on the blog. Thanks for the postcard, it rocks!
As for the presentation - don't worry about it, feel reassured that you - from little, isolated, Dunedin and scant support - came to the came conclusions as those who can afford to go to big conferences, and whose departments do offer support to postgraduate students.
You would have done brilliantly - so academic fraud or not, you've managed to do what a significant chunk of postgrads through the English Dept haven't, feel proud!
As for Canada - it sounds awesome. Glade you're having a good time doing touristy stuff and meeting family. I hope that there are less Tolkienists and chipmunks and that the food is considerably better. :)
