The FINAL Post

“The time has come,” the Walrus said, “To talk of many things: of shoes—and ships—and sealing wax—of cabbages—and kings—and why the sea is boiling hot—and whether pigs have wings.”

My friends, the time has come for this blog to come to a close. I’ve been at this for almost two years, TWO YEARS. Can you believe it? Looking back over the history of the blog, it’s been 82 glorious (and some not so glorious) posts. You’ve been with me while I survived the crazy Sackville winters, sweated out my mind in Mysore, and everything else in between. It’s been four semesters of ridiculous work, economic models, political theories, and too many cultures to count. Countless midterms and what seems like an infinite amount of word counts have come and gone and luckily, you’ve stayed with me throughout it all.

So now we reach the end of my two year foray into blogging. It’s been a real treat and I’ll be sad to finish up this blog. What’s next? I’m headed back to India in a couple of weeks for Mysore Take Two (bonus for all prospective Mount A students: if you are lucky enough, Mount A might hook you up with a trip to a foreign locale…for free!) After that, it’s back to Sackville to prep the Argosy for the new students and new academic year.

Thank you to all of you who have stuck with me through the bad writing and terrible YouTube videos (a special thanks to Mom and Dad who always called to tell me they had read the blog and who also decided to share it with everyone they know.) Who knows, maybe one day these blogs will become part of the cultural history of the twenty-first century…however, I doubt it.

I’ve been trying to find the perfect songs to share with you for this final post. I solicited my Facebook community for some suggestions and I’ve incorporated a few here.

First off, this song made an appearance in the first ever blog post and my friend Lucy suggested it for this blog. It definitely deserves a repost.


Second, because Glee has a special place in my heart, and since this song has already been in here once…here is an awesome Glee cover:


And finally, this song has been on repeat on my iPod for the last two days. I can’t think of a more perfect song to finish off this blog.


When I look back on the first blog, I warned all of you that we would be bouncing throughout this entire blog. Hopefully, I’ve delivered on my promise. And hey…keep on bouncing!
