A New Era

After much internal dialogue, I have decided to resurrect this blog.

It shall still focus on Wales, of course (for that is where my beating heart lies), but it also will focus on graduate student life. I am currently a political science graduate student at Ohio University, acting as a graduate assistant for the Wales Internship Program and as the vice president for communication for Ohio University's Graduate Student Senate as well as a public relations officer for Empowering Women of Ohio.

As I am narrowing my thesis topic from the way-too-broad category of "Wales," this blog will provide a means for me to dump interesting tidbits I pick up. I also will write about my struggle to get back to Wales.

Right up front, you all should know I'm a Plaid Cymru supporter. That means my posts might be slightly biased.

For instance, if I were to write about Rhodri Morgan stepping down in December, you might hear the slight snicker in my tone when I speak of his possible replacements. This would be because, as one of my Welsh friends said,

"who will be caretaker first minister until Ieuan Wyn Jones takes over in 2011?"
