The Adventures of Morley

My photo
Krakow, Poland
I am currently living in the Pacific Northwest, spending my time working with students on Bainbridge Island in the Puget Sound in Washington state. I most recently returned from Krakow, Poland where I was working at an international school. I spent my youth (or much of it) in Europe: Belgium and then Hungary. I also lived in Bangladesh for a year, and Namibia for a summer. I love mountains and snow, but I am currently living in the land of heat, oceans, and jungles.

Spring Cleaning?

Well not quite yet, it warmed up to the fourties for a few days, enough that the snow was melting on the streets and my distinguished snow man is now just a ball of snow with sticks flailing out of each side- looks disturbingly like the 'headless horseman'.. except that he has no horse, and soon may dissolve into silt and some muddy snow!
But other than the nonexistent snowman, things are going alright here in Burnsville. I am checking out tomorrow and departing for my spring semester at the college of saint benedict.

in the last 48 hours i think i have slept close to 19 hours, pretty good for moi!
happy thursday

Immortal

The holidays have come and gone and the time has come again to say bye to the parents as they make their journey back to Budapest. Snow is beginning to melt here in Minnesota but Seth in the Ukraine is still waiting for his winter covering, enduring freezing temps but no white Christmas.

I am now in Burnsville with my very large duffel bag full of received x-mas gifts.. I am excited for the school year to start again, but also not so much. It has been a weird break so far.. that's about all I can say. It has been a nice break from school life, yet a breakthrough again into family life..

not too much to write now. hope everyone had a great Christmas/New Years

The wheels on the bus go..

This morning I took my first public bus in Duluth.. an experience I must say. See, the buses in Duluth don't have very helpful or visible schedules.. so I hopped on a bus hoping that it would take me to where I needed to go.. Put in a dollar to pay- oh-and after I put in the dollar she tells me it won't give any change, so I was down 40 cents.Curses
Eventually got off at the U of M in duluth.. walked the hallways- got horribly lost.. ended up walking about 15 minutes to the shopping center. But I made it. Still alive- and only slightly more aware of how the DTA works.
