Raça Negra

Two weeks from today I will be back in the United States. Although I think I'm ready to go home, I'm also really going to miss Salvador. I've met some really amazing people here, both Brazilian and American. I especially adore the group of women I've met through my ISP. They are a political group, but they are also like family, and they've kinda taken me in as one of their own, I'm going to miss that. Maybe I'll start a black women's group on campus when I get back.

Today I wrapped up the field work for my ISP, which is great. I originally wanted to finish on Wednesday so I'm technically ahead of schedule. The paper and the field journal are due next Monday by 5 pm, I shouldn't have any trouble meeting the deadline.

Quick note: Last Thursday was amazing, one of the best nights I had in Brazil because:

a) Went to a really cool benefit concert against AIDS and racism
b) stayed out til 4am having crazy adventures
c) kisses with someone special

AND
d) it all counts as field work for my ISP

I win.
