Life today

Life today was wonderful. I studied during the day, and danced in the early evening. How it reminded me of when I was in Namibia and even more, at University at Princeton. Today, by the way I met a Princeton University student at the University of Cape Town African dance class. The music of the drum and the dances from South Africa and Liberia (the one where I imagine myself imploring the heavens for mercy in this time of Ebola with my hands up to the sky above, wrists in a gesture of desperation).
I think I have come a long way since then.
I also enjoyed the talk I attended on the social determinants of health. I began a little bit of studying on my assignment for advanced epidemiology. And I will make it.
It has just been my research that I did not look at today. I guess I will spend at least half of tomorrow looking at it. Perhaps I should have easier aims - I should aim to write at least every other day, if not every day.

And I must have mercy on my body - the partial all nighter last time was merciless

This is it, I am doing my Masters in Public Healht
