The Writer-in-Residence Cabin
For the first time since October (when I sold all my furniture), I now have a table to eat breakfast at.
For the first time since November (when I moved all my clothes into duffel bags), I have unpacked into a closet and dresser.
For the first time since December 18th I am sleeping alone in an empty house (prior to that, of course, I’d been living alone for 4+ years and therefore, uh, quite accustomed to privacy).
For the first time since I started planning this entire “two years on the road,” it struck me how many good people I have really left in North Carolina. It was putting pictures of my friends up on my fridge and unpacking their handmade pottery that finally did it.
As a part of my stay, I receive room, board, and a stipend. Today I moved into L-2, a nice little cabin along a side path of the campus. It’s just a short jaunt to “The Shed” (workout gym) and The Writing House (my office and classroom).
Tomorrow I plan class, get keys, figure out where my parking spot is, and read up on the campus dress code (yipes!).

Lucky you don't have to wear the summer uniform that includes knickers!
I am enjoying seeing Interlochen (again) for the "first time" through your eyes and words. And yes, you may have to get a pair of "knickers" for the summer unitform. Unless you are British, and then you already own several pairs.
I see Joy's tumbler on your counter. Even though you miss us in NC, you can *choose* who to have breakfast with whnen you pick your morning mug.
