It has been far too long. With Kahler and Katy leaving, then with the new Summer students coming to the project, and work as usual I have not used time to blog as much as I should. I want to remember the things that are happening now. I have actually had an amazing time with the Summer students from Emory. Even if I
1. Kahler and Katy left
a. This confirms my earlier suspicions that there is no way that I could have made it this whole time without them.
2. Summer students came from Emory to work at the project, some for practicum/thesis work and others just because they can.
a. Has been a great time meeting these new people.
b. Much needed social option while Mike and Lindy are gone.
3. The weekends have been a party, has been nice to get out and shut the ‘ol noodle off for a little bit.
a. First, house party with Chad and John
b. Second, News Café with Hannah and John
c. Polo Grill with John, Nancy, Lasha, Meryl, Hannah, and Paul
d. Fourth (last night), Paint Party at Mr. Pete’s.
4. Kahler gets back
This week should fly by as we have Jana in from the HIL again and there is yet much to be done in the way of preparation for the GCLP audit.
I will be visiting Ndola next weekend just for fun. Really looking forward to the change of scenery and getting to hang out with new folks.
I have lots more details on all of this but, the main thing to note for now is that all is well and I (apart from ZEHRP) and enjoying life!
Miss you all very much.
Jennah: I still want to hear about Aberdeen
Ma & Pa: what do you think about Stella?
Brother: I can't wait to get back there
You might have heard me dream once or twice before, I tend toward imagining the perfect situation. It is definitely me but, I realize that looking a few years ahead can keep you from enjoying the now. Now on to making the most of now
Superior observation: LIFE IS NOW.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, excellent, excellent.
Good that you have folks there with whom you can celebrate NOW.
Love
Uncle Bill
I LIKE the name Stella a lot for the little Momma that hasn't dropped her calf yet...yeah, Stella fits.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am glad that you have friends to help you with your #2 objective of passing the time, Jake. #1, of course, is completing your commitment to ZEHRP and I'm so thankful that you have nearly accomplished that...way to hang in there, Sugar.
Ndola? I don't think I wanna know what you're gonna do 'til you get back, K? Just know I'm hoping/praying for you to have a wonderful time (and that it doesn't involve bungees or being able to swat the flies off of a rhino's back). :) Looking forward to hearing what you did.
I love you, Honey!!
