Well well well, we meet again. The "Nish" has dragged me back for yet another round of education. I vaguely recall vowing a mere 5 months ago that my educational journey in this town was through! My, how the mighty have fallen. I guess this place just has a hold on me.
I am back in a big way - camped into the International House of the Coady International Institute, and I gotta say - its luxery. This building is giving me vivid (maybe a little too vivid) flashbacks of my first year res in P-L-E-S-S-I-S, Plessis Panthers are the best!!!! (...they yelled with gumption).
I am very happy to be here. Its only Day 1, and I have already met some great people who brought me to the greatest lake-side-dock-picnic this side of the Mississippi. Really, Antigonish treats me pretty well. Who am I kidding, Antigonish is almost but definitly not quite on par with my mother (she happens to pay me 10$ per footrub, feeds me endless supplies of blueberries, and forces me to take any possesion of hers that I show the slightest bit of interest in). And yes, I am aware that life with her is a fantasy land, thank you very much.
I am eager to see what is in store for this month, and I am in high anticipation mode to meet the other YIPs (or YIPPers, as I'm told we are called). And finally, I am beyond eagerness, anticipation, and excitement all together to get back to Rwanda. August 31st - here I come!
And to quote a certain someone... "Exciting times ahead!"
