hmmmm
This week was the first week that I have felt home sick since my early days in Colombia. I think part of it is a weird mix of second semester classes coming to an end, Christine leaving, and me realizing that I have 3 more months of FUNdraising, minus the fun. Hmmm it's not that I don't like my job, but I have come to the realization that there is little fun in fundraising.

Anyway, three months will go by in the blink of an eye and I will be home to start the two years of school that I have left. After hearing so many stories of successful MC terms turning into brilliant opportunities for the future, I started thinking, perhaps I peaked too early in @land. Everyone has their course and mine has been basically brilliant. All I can do is smile on the past, be happy for so many friends, and not worry too much about the future.
Right now I'm brainstorming plans to escape to Chile or Uruguay for a week after I finish my first grant application. Any ideas about where to go in the abyss that is the southern cone of Latin America.
In other news, Clarali comes to BA for 12 hours on June 5th. This is amazing. I remember how torn up I felt saying goodbye to her and some others just before leaving for Colombia. I have had incredible luck because this will be the third time seeing my Venezuelan partner in crime since my traineeship adventures started. It has been a good year full of bittersweet moments. Luckily the sweetness sticks out.
