The New Deal

Ok, so, I've definitely learned one thing from keeping a blog: I am no good at keeping a blog. Don't take it personally, internet, that I haven't updated in a long time-- its not that I don't care about you. I also took my first shower in a week yesterday. I've been all kinds of remiss.
But I've made a resolution: I will write one paragraph each day on this blog. I mean, at least then I'll put something out everyday that will give you some idea of what's going on here. Hopefully, quality will follow quantity. And hopefully the fates will not conspire to keep me away from this goal. And by "the fates," I mean waiting to load a video of "Boogie Boogie Hedgehog" until the internet fails for the night.
(that hedgehog scrunching up his face eating a carrot is just as adorable in Africa)
I think I might count this for my paragraph for the day, since I've still got a thesis funding application to write. Because I just can't get enough of the sweet sweet Kenya, but I've had more than enough of the sweet sweet airfares to Africa. But, there will be more, I promise you that.
p.s. pictures soon.

Spoilers

So, for the last few days I've been in an awkward position, blog-wise. I saw SO many things that I wanted to talk about in so little time, that when I sat down to write about it I felt I couldn't really do justice to any one topic or experience, and in trying to summarize everything I started writing a "What I did over Summer break"-type essay, which was boring for me to write, so I knew it would be boring for people to read. So I didn't get around to writing it, and I would have ideas for compact, manageable posts that I would write once I got this one post out of the way, but it wouldn't get out of the way... anyhow, I've finally just put out That One Post, and I now offer promises of things to come.
