For the past few years I have been writing blogs about my travels and experience around Eastern Europe, which some people maybe even read. While I wish I could continue traveling indefinitely, all good things must come to an end (or at least a pause). So, coming this Fall, I'll be writing about life in a different context: Cut to the next chapter in my life, in which Sarah Chao does...
...Kansas.
Yes. Wow. I know. But hey guys, Kansas is a pretty spectacular place from what I have seen so far --- I took a mini road-trip down to Lawrence last weekend, where I will be enrolled at KU's MA program in Slavic Languages and Literature for the next two years (potentially longer if I decide to go on to PhD, but I'm gonna say that's not happening... maybe I'll write about that decision later). The city was hoppin', the campus was beautiful, and the department had everything I was looking for. Plus the financial support they gave me was so good I couldn't turn it down --- They are basically paying me to go there (which I guess is normal for Kansas, among other places)
So, we'll see if I can do something crazy and write about life in my home country for once, eh? Because in the meantime, I am still here in Minnesota where I will keep teaching, hopefully doing a little bit of music, and speaking Russian when the opportunity presents itself. I also still have to reflect on my most recent trip to Russia as a Fellow for the US-Russia Social Expertise Exchange (which ended with a Californian adventure, so I guess I could write about that, too.)
Getting ready to live in Black and White!
Sarah
