i spy something with my little eye

at the same time as i am moving into iowa city, heaps of students are leaving their apartments, and leaving their microwaves behind with them. i swear, i saw twenty-five microwaves today.

i also found in my first day exploring: two walnut trees behind my house, mint growing wild, an apple tree, and a pear tree. i think the apple tree is a seedling rather than a grafted tree, but that is based solely on look not on taste. they're not ripe yet.

i don't know a soul in iowa city yet (not really true, my upstairs neighbor seems great, nick and sarah and genesse are here, and i've met several of the fellow MFAs) so i'm sitting in a sea of boxes attempting to make it look like i know what i'm doing.

iowa, oh iowa.

Great story as for me. I'd like to read a bit more about this theme. The only thing this blog misses is a photo of some gizmo.
