More then just rumors

I have been pursuing a particularly interesting lead for about a week now and am proud to say that it has finally panned out. After numerous persistent attempts I finally managed to get in contact with the operations leader of my new benefactors and, after a brief conversation, was able to get permission to work in collaboration with them on an interesting albiet nonprofit task. I will be cataloging the story of their previous experiences in the cavern in comic format, don't think I could have asked for a better job. Not to mention the fact that when I do get back to the cavern I should have some nice connections.

Graduation Pictures

Today while I was having some photos taken in preparation for graduation I learned that my eyes seem to be more sensitive to light then normal. Of course the reason for this is really quite mundane, nothing as extravagant as me being a descendant of the D'ni, it's simply the fact that for the past two years I've been wearing glasses with Transitions lenses. They seem to have been preventing my eyes from experiencing direct sunlight keeping me seeing in dim conditions.
Also if anyone's interested here is one of the few pictures taken without the aforementioned glasses.Jevasi

Reflection

What an arduous time this past year has been.
Thinking back it seemed like a veritable eternity since we had to leave the cavern when the DRC lost its funding. I remember how difficult it felt leaving behind all that I had experienced in D'ni; the people, the ages, and the things I learned, Just to return to a "normal" life on the surface. It was like I had lost an essential part of who I am and, despite my best attempts to move on with my life, I still cant help feeling that I'm missing something big.
However now things are changing, nothing solid or concrete though just rumors and rumblings of things going on beneath the surface. Hints that our exodus may soon be over and of a return to our cavern home.
Yet sometimes I consider myself a fool for putting such stock in such inconsequential rumors and hopes. If a man is told of a magic portal beneath a bridge it is more likely that he will end up neck deep in ice cold water then in a magical land. Despite what logic has to say though, I feel the need to return to D'ni.
I believe that I am truly feeling the call.

Editing Complete

I've done as much editing the format of this blog as I likely ever will, and it looks really nice if I do say so myself. It feels good to have this part of the work out of the way.

Up and running

Well despite numerous challenges I finally got this blog up and running. Strange that it took me this long considering that I'm usually tech savvy, still not sure about the theme though.
