On my way out

Goodbye Africa.



This time tomorrow I'll be on my way to London. Not sure what I'll do there quite yet, but I'm guessing that'll figure itself out.

So it's been 2.5 months since I first arrived in Africa, and spending the past day on my own in Windhoek has really helped the whole experience sink in. When I first got here I honestly had no idea what to expect, both from the country and from CCF. I felt like I'd done plenty of work since moving to DC two years ago, so I was fine with almost any outcome. Even if it was just an African vacation I'd have been fine with it.

As it turned out that was far from the case. I worked 6 or 7 days each week, usually for 10+ hours. I helped run an international course in predator/livestock management, organized a lot of the research done on the farm, and met a bunch of great people. It was definitely worth it.

Now I need to get back to business as usual. School starts on the 31st. The grad student government has been waiting on me to start allocating funding for student groups. Discussion sections will be meeting soon, too.

I'll try to post at least once from London, and I'll also start the photo-posting process soon. Expect a post sometime next week with a photo link dump.
