Trinh and Madame
I met the newbies last week. It’s still surreal that a year has gone by, my friends are leaving, and new people are “replacing” them. It’s….refreshing? to know how much I have grown as an individual, just talking to the newbies. I’ve changed so much as an individual. Basically, my perspective of life has changed. I do believe I have changed more this past year than my 4 years of college. Maybe it’s just a different kind of change. Maybe you can’t even compare college and Mali. I don’t know. But, it’s neat reflecting and thinking, I’ve come a long way! Language, emotionally, and just how things that used to be such a BIG DEAL, just aren’t.

Last weekend, Trinh had her farewell party. It was fun. Lots of dancing, laughter, friends. I designated myself as the photographer because I would want someone to do that for me. Even though, I probably won’t have such a big bash next year.

I ended up going to Bamako for rectifying travel arrangements. It was such a huge relief getting everything taken care of.

I didn’t take pictures in Bamako because I would have been crying in most of them. But, it was fun hanging out with Trinh before she left. I sure am going to miss her, but I do thank God that our paths crossed in this craziness called life.

It’s funny how things work out. While I am sad that Trinh left, I did (FINALLY) receive the last 2 books of the Twilight Saga. So, I’ve been pretty busy this week.
