Places

I'm not much for drawing, so when I'm really bored and meant to be doing something else, I write things down. To-do lists, my name 25 times in different handwriting, places I've been, places I want to go, books I am reading. The other day my students were working on an assignment in class, and wrote down every place I've ever lived. Good lord.

1. San Antonio, Texas: I've never lived here, but you have to be allowed to count the place where you were born.

2. Altus, Oklahoma: 1988-89

3. Spangdahlem, Germany: 1989-1992

4. Bowie, Maryland: 1992-93

5. Newport News, Virginia: 1993-96

6. Dayton, Ohio: 1996-98

7. Keflavik, Iceland: 1998-2000

8. Las Vegas, Nevada: 2000-03

9. Mount Pleasant, South Carolina: 2003-06

10. Charleston, South Carolina: 2006-08, 2009-10

11. Nottingham, England: 2008

12. Tübingen, Germany: 2009

13. Broomall, Pennsylvania: 2010-11

14. Quito, Ecuador: (yes, I count it) 2011

15. Sadao, Songkhla, Thailand: 2011-2012

Pretty impressive for just 23 years, no?
