Ah, this is my last week of researching the Mozambican revolution. Sending two months with my family was amazing, but I'm anxious to go to Africa. Somehow I can always feel two opposite things at the same time... letting go of everything- most of my clothes, my language, food, fresh water- is my goal for next semester.

So, I'm back at home and enjoying the company of family more than anyone can imagine, unless one has seen me in the euphoric stupor I wander around in after family gatherings. John Foran, my favorite sociology of revolutions professor, offered me up a research assistantship, so I'm reading about the Mozambican revolution right now. Thrilling. Sadly, one of my residents at smith died last week, and I'm still down from the news. Grief therapy was becoming a very real occupational interest, but I'm a bit uncertain now. We'll see. Preparing to head off to Botswana in a month... wish me luck.
