Welcome

Hello and welcome!  

Through this blog I hope to share my thoughts and experiences during my time as a graduate student at the University of Michigan.  In doing so, I aim to stay better connected with my family and friends at home.  

I began my internship today in Southeastern Detroit and tomorrow marks the first day of my classes.  I have settled into my two-bedroom/two-bath apartment in Ann Arbor. And I am beginning to discover what my current city of residence has to offer: several used bookstores (with plenty of shelf space for Hemingway), endless streets housing fair-trade coffee shops and an energetic campus with lots of green space.  There's no doubt I will fit right in.

I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read what I hope will be an account of my journey as a graduate student in rather unfamiliar territory.  I welcome any and all suggestions that may make this blog more enjoyable to read (not to mention I'd love to hear from you).  So please keep in touch and read often!

Be well,
Caitlyn
