A chronicle of my experiences and thoughts as a student, Peace Corps Volunteer, and interested human being. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Help find Linnea Lomax. Yes, I've been back for a while, and I really will update again about life.but right now there's something more important. Linnea Lomax is like family to someone who is like family to me, and she's gone missing. Her parents have an open letter. They're asking people to post and re-post, and there's a website. For anyone who wants more information.

And here I am.I look black in this picture (3/3 PCVs agree). Yes, I made the logo backwards. Sorry, bird. You don't get to be above the star and the morphing star.

A chronicle of my experiences and thoughts as a student, Peace Corps Volunteer, and interested human being. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Balancing (a diatribe on sexism, with a side of humor). First of all, thanks to Six Senses Resorts and Spas. For funding my well project in full. I really appreciate it, and so does my village. It means that when I get back, I can provide nearly-authentic cuisine.for now, though, to business. That's what women are for. Female volunteers deal with this all the time, and I t...

A chronicle of my experiences and thoughts as a student, Peace Corps Volunteer, and interested human being. Sunday, January 16, 2011. Late August, early September. Thank you for your patience. First I got behind because I was busy, and then I became overwhelmed at the amount of things I had to chronicle, and there you have it: five months explained. If you’ll indulge me, I’ll give a much better explanation (or at least a summary) in the following. Where’s your man? 8221; This isn’t maliciously mean...

A chronicle of my experiences and thoughts as a student, Peace Corps Volunteer, and interested human being. Saturday, January 30, 2010. I'm borrowing a computer before everyone else is up to write this very quick blog post because I know that if I wait a week until I am back in Internetland I will miss some things. But because I am getting a ride up the mountain (! In the Peace Corps car (! I have to be quick so I can go pack my stuff- thus, the list:. If I'm lucky, Peace Corps will reimburse me for that.

This is actually pretty amazing because, per my research, Coffea canephora. In a really exciting development, while I've been wai...

Furium Empiricas: October 2009
