Malawi Education 2003-2005

What's up!

Hey guys,

It's so good to read your postings and see that everyone is doing OK.

I am fine. Just sitting here listending to the Big Broadcast on NPR.

For several months now I've been working for a company that does program evaluation consulting. We actually are the contracted evaluators for several Peace Corps surveys. I've been enjoying this job, collecting data and working on some education program evaluations. I really like the job but I figure it's time for me to go to grad school and I don't know if I ready to work and go to grad school full-time. We shall see.

I've been cooking a lot and loving it. I have a small apartment about 30 minutes outside DC with a cosy little kitchen. Yesterday I made a seafood bisque and it was pretty damn good. Let me know and I can hook you up with the recipe.

Ron and I are going to Jamaica in December for Christmas-if anybody wants to join us, feel free. It's got some great places to get married, with all inclusive packages no less. I've been trying to drop "hints" with Ron but he has been pretty good at ignoring them. A while back I bought a beautiful diamond (fake) ring to see if he would get the message but that got me nowhere. Maybe when he gets to Jamaica and meets my father he'll get some motivation.

I do miss you guys and it's hard to believe it's almost a year since we were in Malawi. I've kept in touch with a few people, mainly Jane and Vanessa. Sometimes I think about going to visit them, but for now I'm saving my money to go to West Africa. Yes, I plan to go back to motherland one of these days.

Tsalani Bwino,
