There are two things you can always count on in Searcy, Arkansas – 1) the burned out second “F” and the “H” in Waffle House sign and 2) a strike at the Kohler plant. I’ve been coming here for years to visit my grandparents and somehow those two things always manage to make themselves present, at least, if at no other time, for my visits to make it feel as though I never left.
Fall Break is here and I have retreated to the outskirts of the aforementioned town until Sunday morning. And do not be mistaken, the word “break” is nothing but a con. I will be catching up on homework, sleep, and oh yes, I’ve brought my actual job with me. Hurray for mobile offices, I suppose. Oh well, at least I get paid, right? So break doesn’t sound too exciting, but in all honesty, I think that’s what I need – boredom. I’ve had too much excitement thus far this semester, I need to spend an weekend unconnected to the world which may prove as a problem since I have to put in the research proposal for Bateman tomorrow. Hrrmmm…I guess I’ll have to find that mysterious coffee shop with the Wi-Fi in the morning. I am however, hoping to catch up on some LEISURE reading and there will probably be the obligatory, yet welcomed shopping trip with the grandparents.
Well I’m off. It’s leisure reading time. Cult of the Amateur here I come…
