Returning conclusions

Goodness! I had almost completely forgotten about this blog.
Well, dear blog:
ever since I last wrote herein, I have finished a mammoth undergraduate thesis which I might publish, I have discovered way more than I bargained to discover about my issues (and some corresponding resolutions), I have obtained a degree, I have met wonderful people who pump an incomprehensible amount of love in my general direction, and I have started translating a book, among a couple of other things. Oh, yes: I have done independent research and learned how to do fieldwork (more or less), all the while learning how to beat down my own stereotypes and prejudices as a result of that fieldwork.

Not bad at all!

I am in a state of questioning, these days. What kinds of questioning, you ask? Oh, all sorts, really.

I think I've decided that, for the time being, I had rather write about those kinds of questioning by hand, and I had rather share my questions selectively.
This is not precisely a "goodbye," but rather a "see you later, alligator--perhaps" of sorts. I have been fooling with the idea of starting a blog about stuff that isn't personal sometime, but I have not acted upon this foolish idea yet. Perhaps I will, eventually...

At any rate, I am actually grateful to the internet for its positive attributes, such as free webspace like this upon which one can carry out personal experiments. Mine was to explore language from a personal point of view while being mindful of an unacknowledged audience, and it was fun. Yes, that's all-- it was fun. I hope this blog won't get wiped out into the greater spidery wide world, especially because who knows-- I might just write in it again someday.

Until then, hasta la vista, amigos!
