Have a really good time!
Hope it's awesome--you'll have an awesome time, I'm sure, once you leave the midwest, where it sounds like all the work happens--or, as my son-in-law might say, where you'll experience an Insane Clown Posse beatdown of the academic/poetic variety. Good luck! May your immune system be sturdy and resilient.
Yeah, well, by the way, I apparently don't know jack about geography, because the place that I was was definitely not midwest, though I lumped it in with the whole prairie thing because of the flatness. I think the proper term is "Rust Belt"--with a shout out to Flavia and Doctor Cleveland, who I think inhabit that general area.
Back at you, RG! It's terrific to have you in the very general area.
And if I didn't live in the Rust Belt, I don't think I would be calling myself "Doctor Cleveland."
