Lady sings the "I've got jet lag" blues

Well, I've been wide awake since 4:30 this morning, so I decided that it was finally time to do something productive with my morning. And, since the final copy of my paper is due at midnight tonight, what better way to use my time than update my blog!

All of our various flights went well . However they were, of course, terribly uncomfortable, and I also COMPLETELY lost my voice somewhere between point A and point B, leaving me with a rather dismal whisper. Most people in this situation would be like, "finally! A reason to not talk!" But for me, that whole not talking thing really doesn't work too well. If at all. So I've been whispering away like an overly talkative kid playing hide n' seek.

It's good to be home. Seeing my mommy and sister, my wonderfully wonderful and terribly cute kitty, making cupcakes, sleeping in my own bed, swimming in my own pool.

But I do miss South Africa. It's a great country and a great place to be. I loved practically everything about it, and I really can't wait to go back. This whole experience was just so awesome and enriching. I learned so much, experienced so much, and really loved it.

I guess I don't really have too much to write. My trip has ended. And that's that.

Which means this blog will go on temporary hiatus until yet another voyage comes up. Luckily, it's Summer which means there will be at least two more trips yet to blog about so it's not the end yet.

So farewell for a while, my friends.

A.

p.s. my other blog, the poor neglected thing, will be being updated more frequently now. I promise!
