Honey, I'm home!*
Jun. 3rd, 2009 10:44 amHi guys! *waves madly at the internets* I'm back!
I don't really know where to start. I'm going to do a retroactive blog about it all (aka
amboseli) but I'm going to say a little bit about these past 4 months now.
It was amazing! Amboseli is an absolutely gorgeous place. It was chock-a-block full of animals (due to being the only permanent water source in a land plagued by drought, which wasn't cool). Lions, lions, lions everywhere! Elephants of all sizes! Bizarrely-striped zebras!
I had so much fun. Seriously, my baseline emotion was "squeelful joy". The research went by without a hitch, I got to be super close friends with Willemijn (who's hilarious, by the way) and also made some very good friends with folk living there.
Oh, and I fell in love with a wonderful boy. !!! I can't be more coherent than that right now. We love each other very much and are so doing the long distance relationship thing until it's a long-term relationship thing. Miss him like crazy.
So I'm back at my flat with lots of new roommates, a mangled fern (Renske gave it a haricut while she was taking care of it) and chilly Dutch weather. Going to start work on the report next week so I can dedicate this week to unpacking and settling in again. It's taking a bit of getting used to being back: "I can drink tap water!", "Fresh milk!", "Fast internet!" and the like are things I keep exclaiming. Also miss living with Willemijn, so that's a change.
Anyway, I'm slowly catching up on LJ, fandom and the lives of loved ones. If there's been anything major in your lives, poke me!
Love y'all!
