Yesterday or today we realized that it is not worth it to ship all our things to America. The shipping companies want something like $2000 to ship everything from our apartment in Beirut to Grand Forks, ND. And we decided that it would cost less to replace most of the things than to ship them.
But that meant that we spent much of today unpacking boxes and trying to decide what to do with all the things we will not ship. In addition, that means we'll have to buy even more things once we settle in Grand Forks: clothes, books, toys...
I was just leaving Bulgaria when I started this blog in the spring of 2007. From July of 2007 to July of 2008 I lived in North Dakota. Because I was unable to find a job there, I moved with my family to Beirut, Lebanon working at the American University of Beirut. Recently, I returned to North Dakota and started a new job as director of the writing center and writing across the curriculum at the University of North Dakota.
