Wow. It has been sooo long since I last posted. I guess I feel like my life just isnt exciting or interesting if im not traveling. its even almost as if my mind no longer thinks cool thoughts. not that you ever think my thoughts are cool, but i sometimes do because im dorky like that. and i guess the only reason i feel like i have something to write about now is because i just moved again! this time i've moved to boulder, CO and its a more long term move. im here for grad school, in cultural anthropology, and since ill be doing masters and phd, looks like ill be here a LONG time, with random traveling excursions, of course! :)
its been really great so far. i really love boulder. its such a cool place. SO much better than home. i still have sooo much to explore. and im really excited about school, too. it will be a ton of work, but i know it will be great. i just love what im studying SO much and i am so incredibly passionate about it. its the greatest thing i could ever imagine doing and i feel like it could bring me SO much fulfillment for the rest of my life.
as of now, i have this set idea of what my thesis will be BUT my interests are running in so many directions that im considering possibly altering it a bit. i need to speak with my advisor about some things, but when i figure it all out, ill let you know what super cool topic ive chosen and what super cool places ill be able to travel because of it. :)
my awesome old friends from clemson who live out here now have a bike for me, im pretty stoked about that. my roommates are great. i really love them. theyre fun and super easy to get along with, and we share a lot of the same interests, so its cool!
one of my favorite students from tanzania called me yesterday to tell me that her father had died. she was crying and it was incredibly heartbreaking. i feel the need to get back there soon. some people i love there honestly may not live much longer and its such a devastating thought.
but yeah, i really dont have too much interesting to say at this point, but i feel like my classes, reading, and research will invoke some intriguing thoughts and questions in my mind, and ill be sure to share when theres something i think you MIGHT find interesting.
i LOVE you all. and man, i miss so many people. all you people of mine scattered all over the world...you should really come visit me here! its so great! :)
