I can’t decide what I think about 6 weeks – whether it’s short or long. In the context of study abroad or any sort of vacation, 6 weeks can take forever. Each of the first 6 weeks in Tanzania felt like a lifetime. But here, there are 6 weeks left of the school year and [...]

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 [...]

“now”
May 25, 2008
I realize I haven’t written since St. Patrick’s Day…but I don’t really feel bad about it. I have this complex relationship with blogging.

It’s been a while, I know.
Thanksgiving was amazing. truly. I know many people hate time spent with family – especially extended family, but it’s not like that with me. My cousins and I grew up together. We’re more friends than cousins. We love each other dearly and enjoy the company [...]

I cheated
I know, I know. You’re not allowed to listen to Christmas music until AFTER Thanksgiving dinner and that moment is only about 72 hours away, but I just couldn’t help it. It’s been so long since I’ve listened to Christmas music and before I could think too hard about it, I pressed play. [...]
