A year ago today, I woke up happy, in my hut, in Madina, Mali, eager to get to know my new surroundings and begin my new life. By the end of the day, I was sobbing in the back of a Peace Corps vehicle watching my new life disappear.
How quickly things can change.
How quickly a year goes by.
How quickly I forget how it felt to be there, how it smelled, how exciting it was, how exhausting it was, how difficult it was, how easy it was.
How quickly it all ended.

Mmmmm... ribs.
Who knew this was even possible?
So for the past few months, I've been living with one of my upper ribs out of whack. FUN! Who doesn't like a little stabbing chest pain in their day to day life?
As I get older, freakier and freakier things keep happening. When I asked my grandma what was happening to me she replied, "you're getting old!"
Damn!
No one wants to hear that from their grandma!!!
