Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Well she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina,
She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize,
She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry Uncle,
From the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be singing the blues,
Well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe,
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!

Well she'll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia,
Then she'll stick 'em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth,
She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Oh tell me where in the world is... Oh tell me where can she be?

Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu...!

Well she glides around the globe and she'll flimflam every nation,
She's a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery,
Her itinerary's loaded up with moving violations,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?



So I'm not quite an international intrigue, but I got a call today telling me that I had fallen off the face off the planet. Turns out, I've disappeard. Where have I been? Well, I've been working a lot at the project. I love it sooo much, I'm learning a lot and making friends and I don't ever want it to end. Development is really quite nifty - so many facets. Where else have I been? Well, I can't deny that I've been with my boy quite a bit. I think I might be addicted to him. Oh well. Ummm.... I don't know. I was at Temple Ambler today watching my mom graduate, then at the Palace of Asia with some super yummy chicken tikka masala. I'm in my pajamas now. It's so strange. In a matter of weeks, life has become a totally different experience. There's a new schedule to follow. 9-5. No homework, so every night is a chance to play. I see the same people everyday, but I hardly see anyone I used to see everyday. And yet, in spite of the massive shift in my daily routine, I don't find myself missing the 8-3 days, the lines and rules, D-forms and dresscode, constantly trying to make the grade. This is new and exciting and stress-free. I mean, there's the stress of events and deadlines, but it's new and interesting, so it doesn't feel like pressure. I've really fallen into this new pace, and I have to say I like it. I don't feel like there's been a huge shift in my lifestyle. It's like this is how it's supposed to be.



P. S. - Bet the Carmen Sandiego song is stuck in your head now. Haha.
