In Cape Town right now the weather is turning to South Africa's version of Fall, but life feels a bit more like Spring. The freshness, the new starts, the opportunity, the growth - like flowers popping up rather than leaves falling down.
I graduated the School of Field Journalism yesterday morning. After a couple hours of debriefing, a squeezed in meeting, a celebration dinner and one last movie, the end was official. Following a lot of personal contemplation, prayer and general stubbornness, I have committed to staying in Cape Town for field assignment instead of venturing to Uganda and the various other locations other members of the school may find themselves in. This was a heavily weighed decision, but has become very exciting in the meantime. One other student will be staying with me, Marie, who I am sure I will be writing about a lot in the coming months as we have many joint adventures planned. Today we sat on the roof of our soon-to-be ex-home and brainstormed all the possibilities of the coming 7 weeks. Three pages later it looks like it could be a very fantastic time!
We started a co-blog to record all of our journalist pursuits and general silliness. Be sure to subscribe as we are both avid bloggers - thanksadoublelatte.blogspot.com.
Four days and counting until the move into a sweet two bedroom with a great kitchen and loads of gratefulness to Evelien for letting us stay there while she travels the African Continent.
So many possibilities!!!!!
