Happy MMX!

I'm beat, man. Many, many hours were spent today tromping around in the snow, huddling around the campfire and generally enjoying friends and family at what has become the annual New Year's Day Freeze-a-thon! Of course, staying up late for the anti-climactic ringing in of the new decade doesn't help one's energy level much! But it was good fun. Now I'm going to tuck myself into bed. Tomorrow I'll be back in the city where I have real high speed internet, which is a little less frustrating for uploading some of my beautiful Christmas card-esque pictures!

Phew, what a holiday season! I can't believe they're over already! Normally, I would kick into high gear again in getting ready to go back to Africa... but this time, I feel like I have all the time in the world stretching out before me. I just have to make sure I use all this time wisely. So on that note, I'm going to tuck myself into my bed. Tomorrow I go back to the city and right back to work - I get to visit a group of volunteers who are being trained to be mother tongue literacy teachers from a language community that I work with in Africa! How cool is that? I'm not really sure what will come of my visit tomorrow, but I'm hoping to somehow be of help with this community and their literacy classes for the next few months while I'm here at home!

It's a great start to MMX!
