Help me rename my blog

Well, I am no longer in Africa, but this has been fun and I thought I'd keep it up. I've been sorrily remiss in posting anything, although I finally got a few 2-month old graduation pictures up this morning. I was waiting until we had definite news on a house so I could post some pictures, but that's a little up in the air. I have to go right now, but I'll write a bit more later on. All that said, I need a new title for my blog since I'm not in Africa anymore. I have no good ideas, though, so I'm asking for help from the few of you who may still be reading this!

My graduation

My graduation ceremony




One reason Courtney and I both decided to walk is that we could do it together. We were both scheduled to finish during the summer semester. She's all done, but I still have a ways to go!


Don't they look like they're having fun? Shaun took this picture of my family from across the auditorium.

Dinner at Altu's!

Before my graduation, we had dinner at Altu's, an Ethiopian restaurant in Lansing with some good friends and both sets of parents.


(L-R) Rohit, my Dad, Courtney, Mamta and me. Courtney and I studied Swahili together and Mamta and Rohit are in my department. They are all 3 amazing people and friends.

All I can say is yum, yum, yum!!

Both of us in our graduation regalia. His is a bit cooler than mine, though! Maybe someday I'll get a PhD and get a cool robe :)

Graduation Pictures

Dave and his Dad. Students with family members who are doctors could choose to have their family member "hood" them, which means putting the hood on them during the ceremony. The hood is what you see hanging down their backs.
