On Returning

Yeah, haven't written in a while, oh well. Zagreb makes me lazy, and that just compounds the fjaka attitude I got in Hvar. Anyway, I'm putting the Ghana reflection on hold for an IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! (OK, maybe not that important...)

Despite all my talk, I'm going to end up back at UC this coming semester (read: next week). There are a few reasons: mainly, I the logistics for volunteering weren't working in the short time I had, and I didn't want to go leaping blindly into a several-month abyss considering I've just spent a while in Africa, which was quite a bit of experiential overload in and of itself. And with that experience, I think I'm prepared to go back in a different mood and state, and maybe have a better time of things. Plus, spending some time back in "civilization" will be useful for comparison and for several other things I want to accomplish (like maybe taking Portugese in preparation for my putative trip to Brazil at some indefinite time in the future). Summary: I'm coming back to UC, and not too unhappy about it. I'm scheduled to arrive on sunday (wow, that's really soon...) so as to be able to do some stuff before the semester begins. That's all.
