This week ended today

Saturday Evening:

This week ended today. It was a long one. Kahler, Katy and I and a bunch from the flats went to the Mexican Food place to grab some good grub and drinks. It was a really great chance to unwind.

The GRE is done and all that is left is to wait for the results. I think that I did better than last time however, right now I do not have a great idea as to how well I may or may not have done. The first quantitative portion was sneaky and the end came much sooner than I would have liked. It is all done and I can’t do anything about it, so on to the next! The audit

The confidence of Moses is quite contagious as he has been through several of these audits now and believes that we will fair just fine. I find myself parroting his hypothesis. He is right I think in that we have done much to prepare for this audit and though Kahler and I will likely have to do some work this weekend we will be ready. It makes sense that the internet would be down as I write this post.

I wish that I could talking to you. Alas, the technology here will not allow. I am just about ready to switch gears for the break. Just need to get through the 24th and then my mind will get a head start on my body in retreating to the Lone Star State. The boldest and grandest, withstanding every test...

I got to try something new today. I ate a caterpillar, it is a traditional Zambian dish that was actually pretty tasty! It surprised me a little how good the little fellas were. The guard was cooking them up and asked me if I would like to try, how can I say no, right? I am glad that I accepted his offer. Katy should be posting pictures soon as she tried them too!

It has been an insane week but, having weeks like those behind you gives a little more energy to face the next; because if you could make it through that then it must be down hill from there. I had no idea how much that exam was weighing on me until I was done. It was magical.

I am going to finalize a few applications this weekend and begin working on abstracts for conference in the states. A free trip and time off work, who wouldn’t jump at the chance? There is one in Maryland in May and one in Rome mid-July just before I come home. I think it would be a blast to visit Rome and right now even Baltimore feels like a really big deal, haha.

The clock to seeing my sweet motherland continues to tick and I am anxious. It is going to be fantastic, I want it to last forever. I look forward to seeing many of you. I am in very good health and am going to pick up running and working out a little next week. Sincere thanks for all of the prayers, I am blessed to have you all in my life.

All is well.
