today

i leave for the airport in just over 4 hours. i still have to buy a couple of things and stop by campus and go to the doctors for one last allergy shot. i am bringing 4 types of medicine in an attempt to not be overcome by a cold yet again. i always get one a month when i'm in kigali. the red dust there gets everywhere and probably doesn't have the best germs in it. this time i won't feel like pooh for a week...i'm only there for 3.5 anyway.

by the way, the times on my blog will be the time i post them when i'm in rwanda, not america. this time change is going to be wretched.

ok, now it's off to the store. only 1/4 of one bag is my stuff. the rest is all gifts for rwandans. even that 1/4 is most my research. when i get bored at night i get to cozy up to a copy of "the handbook of bereavement research." it's about 1000 pages...now that's some good reading.
