A conclusions of sorts

It's over a month since I've last blogged and so much has happened. I guess i'll start with my time in Kenya has come to an end. As I write this i have homework piling up in my University studies. Not that i'm complaining. I've come to the conclusion that the life of a student is pretty good. I never thought i'd miss being in the scholarly setting. On a few occasions in Kenya i'd be interviewing someone who had the teaching qualifications of a professor and i remember thinking this is sweet. Haa. Perhaps it's those people who can effectively communication ideas and thoughts that i find myself drawn to.
Although i'm back in cold, snowy Edmonton my mind is often in Kenya. I'm not sure how to explain that. I feel like i understand things differently now. No better or worse then before but just differently. I did end up finishing my report which ended up being pretty long. All it needs is some editing. Although i'll probably still not be satisfied with it. Will i ever be I wonder? Probably not.
I hate the end of things. I peter out. And of course i always regret how i end things. I'm not one to end on very strong notes. My strength is at the beginning of a project. I hate endings.
My internship may have ended in Kenya but I still have work to do. A. Presentation for my school community. Eek. The list doesn't end there but i'll spare you the details.

There is so much to say about the last month. It was filled with some of the most enjoyable experiences ever. In hindsight i wish i wrote every day for you.
In conclusion i can honestly say there is no real conclusion. It's more of a beginning blog to something else. I thank you for following me in this whirlwind of an adventure. This space has rewarded me with a community of people that have given me so much support and encouragement. I hope one day i will have the opportunity to meet with you over a cup of chai mixed with good conversation. Asante sana!

Hi Sarah
Welcome back, welcome to the frigid North, where hearts are still warm though. I have followed your blog with much interest, and smiled and laughed at your observations, because often they echoed our own. I'm glad to hear that you feel this is only the beginning of something else. We are thankful for your safety, and our prayers for your well being were answered. Thanks for sharing this advenbture with us and letting us in on your thoguhts. I am certain that a piece of Africa will always be with you, and undoubtedly you have left something of yourself with its people. God bless the next part of your journey.
