Yikes! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted!
There are posts in the works but this whole adjusting-back-to-normal-school thing is a tougher exercise in time management than I thought! Boy do I wish I were back at camp outside Tarangire right now. I think I’d savor getting dressed in a 104 degree F tent…
BUT I’m [...]

Advent Conspiracy
I am home! And it is snowing outside. It’s beautiful. Welcome to the Christmas season!
I’m pretty overwhelmed right now, as I try to get back into life here. I visited St. Olaf on Sunday night and nearly drowned in the amount of information I had to process immediately. I was fully aware that time passes [...]

Where the Hell is Matt? .com
This it totally random and has almost nothing to do with Tanzania but the internet was working quite quickly this afternoon and we were able to buffer the latest Where the Hell is Matt? video and watch it. My girls here hadn’t heard of him. As we were watching it, we noticed he danced in [...]

winter!
Hey! Sorry for the lack of blogging of late. Ironically, since I started this blog I’ve realized I have a lot to say that I don’t want all of cyber space to read and I’ve reverted back to journaling…
But I have something to say today:
It snowed! Not much, but it was a [...]

Old Australian Ways
a while ago, i found myself reading a poem to a couple international friends of mine and was amazed to hear their comments afterwards. they said it was calming; lilting; sweet. they mentioned that the english language – with its even tone – sounded wonderful in verse.
i do love to read poetry for [...]

MCP, MCAD and MIA
Last night my photography class went to the cities for various shows and a talk by Fazal Sheikh.
We started with a tour of the Minnesota Center for Photography (MCP) and time to view the McKnight show they have on display at the moment. It’s a show featuring four Twin Cities-based photographers who had been [...]
