Au Revoir et A Bientot Senegal 5 May 2011 | 04:42 am
This is my last post from Senegal, for this trip at least. After exactly 3 months, its time for me to say good-bye to Africa. The past weekend was much like the last few- relaxing and full of beach t...
5 Days 30 Apr 2011 | 02:11 am
Every year I feel like the summer is split into two parts. There is the part before the 4th of July, and then the part after. If you divide the summer up that way, the first half is actually a lot sho...

One Month!! 4 Mar 2011 | 01:30 am
In two days I’ll have been here for a month! While the first few days seemed really long, I feel like the weeks are starting to fly past. I suppose that’s a good sign! I’ve started getting a lot more...
Bugs and Blackouts 28 Feb 2011 | 04:24 am
So the major theme of my last week here has been bugs and blackouts. There are all these really tiny little bugs- that don’t look like flies or stinkbugs, that just circle the office and specifically ...
Happy Friday! 18 Feb 2011 | 11:03 pm
