lots of wonderful things, like how i got to pretend i was in brazil again yesterday evening (brazilian studies seminar! logico em portugues), saw melancholia and can't get wagner out of my head, delving deeper into history and african maternal health issues and scarily realizing that things colonial officers said in 1920 kenya are the.exact.same.thing. public health people say today, getting more and more acquainted with the lovely oxford ward, starting a brilliant new project for a new fistula organisation, and, AND the fact that toni and i are about 95% sure we'll be spending the first week of november in ethiopia (!!!). as in, 2 1/2 weeks from now. will tell more soon. i love my husband. and the wellcome trust.
and lastly, i'm back to my old self again - long hair was a fun experiment of "i'm too cheap to get a haircut," but it does feel good to be back to the way i looked for the first 24 years of my life. (but should i have gone shorter? i kinda think so. i saw emma watson on the high street yesterday - yup, hermione officially goes to oxford - and DANG was her hair cute!)
and p.s. of course the photo i take is from my computer in the rhodes house library. membs all those similar photos i used to take first go round at oxford? oh the déjà vu...

I think your hair is a perfect length. Wish I had your waves.
It sounds like things are going swimmingly!
that is the perfect length for you, jooj! so sassy and smart. how exciting about ethiopia, can't wait to hear more. so funny about emma watson! she's really a student there? miss you and toni! give him our love.
you sound so happy - yay! LOVE the hair. emma watson there - how amazing. she inspired me to go super short with my hair....wonder if she'll still be there next year when i'm visiting oxford. my six-year-old chelsea would DIE if i had a photo with her. wonder what the chances are. oxford ward -- hurrah! give my love to bishop d* and his adorable yvonne.
your hair is totally perfect. i love it. sounds like things are going well! give toni a hug from us.
love you.
Love the picture and your hair. In Nov you are off on another adventure. You two do have an exciting life and are doing good things. Love you
I really loved your long hair! BUT, you look adorable with short hair! I am currently letting my hair grow but who knows how long it will be before I start feeling the urge to cutting it super short again. btw, so happy you're back to blogging!!! and so happy things are going well in oxford. reading about your academia adventures makes me want to go get a phd myself. somday I guess...
