FYI I tried uploading some photos from London onto this, but the internet connection I'm working on is pretty slow and it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Apologies London To play it safe with my connecting flight to Johannesburg, I played it rather conservatively on getting back to Heathrow in time, so now I’m stuck in the position where I have four hours until my flight, and not a whole lot to do. That being said, this entry is going to be written in the Heathrow international terminal, although it won’t be posted until I’m probably in Lilongwe. To be honest, this terminal is beautiful. There are more cultures here than something out of a bad high school movie, and to be blunt, it’s almost hard to find someone to speak English in England ... read more

A Couple Hours Out... So before I left for the summer, I wanted to write up one quick post a few hours before I leave (my flight is at 8:15 tonight out of O'Hare.

It will be much easier for me to stay in touch that way. One Week Out Final Preparations So one week from today is my flight from O'Hare to Heathrow, and one week from Monday I'll arrive in Lilongwe. At this point, it's still a rather arbitrary statement for me to say that I'm going to be living in rural Sub-Saharan Africa this summer, and about 200 hours from now it is going to become vividly real. In preparation for this summer, I've been trying to tie up any loose ends, still do well on finals, and just get ready physically and ... read more

Prep for Travel 20 Days til I leave... Moni (that's hello in Chichewa): So I'm starting to play around with all of this site to see if I can get it to work, so put up with me if I mess some stuff up at first. A little background people who aren't too sure about what I'm doing this summer: * I will be living in rural Malawi from May 4th to August 20th (though I will be out of the us from May 2nd to August 21st with travel times. * I will be working on a research project through U of M as part of my thesis. If people have specific questions as to the nature of the study, please feel free to ask. * I will be living at first in the town ... read more
