I met a girl in Aberdeen, Kathryn from Montana. How funny, to meet someone in Scotland, an anthropologist, studying there, whose name is Kathryn and is from Montana. She'e getting er Ph.D. I asked her if she planned on going back to the States when she was finished.
She looked at me for a moment. Then she expained that there weren't too many jobs for a specialist in Eastern European migration in Montana. "I lived in Montana. Now that I've done that, I can't live anywhere else. And if I can't find a job there, I might as well stay here." And she shrugged. She's staying in Scotland, because she could never live anywhere else in the US. How funny.
I thought that it was an interesting way to look at her future, and it was quite reminiscent about the way I feel. Now that I've experienced all that is Montana, how can I live anywhere else? It's a very Montana State of Mind.
