Every day I am being asked about the results of my study, or about my experiences in Africa, but I don't get tired talking about it. It was a joy doing this study, especially the research project, and talking about it allows me to think of the issues I care about most in the world. But now I will need to try avoid the daily routine to take over.

Thanks to my family-in-law for the presents and to my sister-in-law for the very sweet and purple cake!

I also decided to abandon the one-blip-a-day for a while. Lately my new schedule (including working full-time again) made blipping more of a frustration than a joy most days, resulting in disappointing blips, which is something I can hardly accept. I will surely try to blip as often as possible, but it's not an obligation anymore...
