Endings are always bittersweet.

I'm done with finals! YAY. This last one was a joke but the one before was pretty intense. There was actual studying going on... Albeit I had to memorize a bunch of churches and their founders and their current leaders rather than understanding the actual material. But it was the hardest final I had to take this semester. So that's something.

I've begun to pack and it's quite a process. I have enough money left over from my Tufts stipend to set my self up with quite a bit of fabric. Too bad fabric is super heavy and none of us have scales with which to weigh our luggage. I might just do it anyways. Nowhere else will I be able to get such awesome fabric for $4 a yard. $3, if I bargain in Twi.

Goodbyes have also started, which is pretty sad. I'm way sad to leave my roommate. She's awesome and if I could pack her and bring her back to the US, I would. I think she's sticking around until we leave on Sunday night, so at least we have this next couple of days to bond some more. We actually have a date this afternoon to go get some omo tuo (groundnut soup and rice balls) and get our picture taken together. Should be freakin' adorable.

Oh god, I heard Oh Holy Night the other day and I freaked out. I am so not in the Christmas mindset, I cannot even tell you. I am in complete summer mode. I'm lazing about, I'm taking my afternoon naps to avoid the heat, I'm getting sunburned on a daily basis, I'm very relaxed about almost everything. I can't go back to the hustle and bustle of American malls and millions of Christmas movies and holiday music on every channel... I'm so not prepared! On he other hand, this may be the first year where I've gotten everyone's Christmas presents by the beginning of December. So I just have to wrap and go.

Alright, this is probably my last update. Sunday night I head out to Amsterdam, have a few hours to walk around there... then off to Detroit, then Hartford. It'll be an arduous 24 hour trek. But I guess it's worth it...

Check back in the next couple of weeks for links to pictures and videos that I will inevitably put up when I get back to the land of consistent internet.
