Oh, to have a laptop! Procuring a laptop will become a priority very soon. I've planned an excursion to Bloomington in two weeks and will need to be able to have my computing powers on board with me as I travel. I'm going to double book the weekend since I will just be walking the campus to get a feel for it anyway. The plan is to rent a car (which will pay for itself in gas savings alone) for the weekend and head up early on a Saturday, stroll the campus and take a lot of snapshots, sample the local fare and soak up some atmosphere. Then I'll head out of town to a camp site and spend Sunday doing a lovely autumnal hike before driving back home and dropping off my rental. The fall foliage should be at or near its peak then, so I'm hoping for a gorgeous drive, a balmy day to explore campus and a breathtaking hike.
I've also discovered BloomingPedia, a wiki dedicated to all things Bloomington. Very helpful.
I'm ridiculously nervous about hearing back from my Reach Readers. I'm almost positive that everyone I've invited will come on board, but I am unsure of the reception the written material will get. I'm afraid it's still a little dense and, well, boring. And I'm still not absolutely sure that I have the talent to pull off alternating first person POV. There are so many challenges involved. Sigh! I'm going to log off and meditate and perhaps that will help soothe me.

Abstract
David is the 18-year-old star academic in his Cognitive Sciences PhD Program at Indiana University, but even his genius-level intellect can't aid him in gaining an understanding of Claire, the universally-loved “townie” who caters his weekly departmental luncheon. Will his deep fascination with Claire's ability to engage in extrasensory perception derail his nascent career and subject his promising dissertation to the ridicule of his colleagues?
Project Reach is intended to be a work of literary fiction written in the present tense from alternating first person perspectives. It explores the nature of consciousness and the limits of human perception while remaining grounded in the powerful bonds that sometimes develop between individuals of widely divergent personalities, talents, and backgrounds.
The manuscript is being subjected to peer review by a panel of five members who hold degrees in theater, fine arts in photography, graphic art, history, English, humanities, history and philosophy of science, and deaf education.
