Thanksgiving has come and gone and now fall is really here. I spent four hours in the library today and still feel there is so much to learn. Fall makes me reflective, and my time constraints make me prefer lists to narratives, so please forgive the continued trend of bullets on my blog. Here is a rather important little list to help me keep perspective.
10 things I’m thankful for:
The fabulous Thanksgiving potluck we shared on Monday night in Bradford. Over 30 Peace Studies students from all over the world gathered to celebrate a holiday they knew little about but certainly enjoyed.
My remarkable fellow-Peace Fellows… to meet the rest of the Rotary World Peace Fellows in class seven click here
The wonderful weekend we all shared in Scarbourough and our successful presentation at the Rotary District Conference.
The very boisterous, yet spiritual, ‘Beer and Hymns’ we enjoyed last night raising funds for Christian Aid
That my African Politics professor gave me two more copies of his book ‘The Political Economy of AIDS in Africa’ to give to the library so I don’t have to wait three weeks for the one copy I reserved.
The lovely photo I’m looking at right now of my nephew Beckam
That I can call international for free (well kind of for free) so can talk to my parents as much as I like
That my apartment has a bath tub and not just a shower
That my friends and I booked tickets to Dublin for the day after we hand in our first essay
That I showed my professor the outline for my first essay and he said I was 'on the right track'
And ALWAYS… My sweet memories of days spent at Emmanuel Center in Kenya
Thank you everyone - Big smiles and hugs all around : )
