arrival






so, i had this nice blog post all set up and ready to go but it's not reading the file correctly, so i guess i'll have to improvise. i'm here in okahandja and everything is fantastic. i just found out i'll be learning afrikaans, which probably means i will be in a bigger town. this is a LITTLE disappointing, mainly because afrikaans is basically a european language and the language of the colonial oppressor. BUT it is spoken all over the country and i will even be able to communicate with some people in south africa. anyways, i'm just excited to get started so we can get this thing rolling.



seriously though this place is amazing and i couldn't be happier. i probably won't come home next winter because i'm just pretty obsessed with it here. what this means for you guys is you will a. either have to come visit me or b. let me know you cannot make it and i will find a sufficient african replacement for each and every one of you. some of you have actually already been replaced. sorry!

but i do love you all. i'm going to post some pictures to make this blog exciting. so um, here goes.
I LOVE YOU THIS COMPUTER IS SLOW

  1. Hey, it's KT Folds. I had a dream that I was hanging out with you last night. My hair was very curly. You were home visiting and telling me about everything. You were super happy and excited. See you in dream land! :)
