I think my mother misunderstands the internet. I conclude this based on the things she asks me to look up for her. "Google the flower shop". "Google how this particular slab of beach was ruined by that particular hurricane." "Google fish restaurants." "Google why all the people in this beach town have Irish flags on their front lawns." "Google which fish restaurant is better." I dunno - these aren't the world's best examples. I usually bring my A-game when I boast about my mother's tech savvy. I'm going to miss her!
Clearly I'm not in Malawi yet, but I better leave soon because I think I've exhausted all of the pre-travel topics. By exhausted I obviously mean that I ever so gently touched upon: why i'm going, when i'm going, where i'm going, what i'm packing, and how this trip will change my life. So what else can I say?
For those on the edge of their seats, the elusive IRB-I (pronounced 'erby or 'IRB international') came through last night and our project has alas been approved. Life's no fun if you're not drumming your fingers until what feels like the last possible moment. As I may or may not have mentioned previously, Emily and I have been concocting our project since around February. It's been cool, or so we keep on saying, because we kind of had the opportunity to develop our research from the ground up. The topic is very kid-friendly, therefore, and the practicality and purpose of it makes a lot of sense to us because hey, we came up with it. It's been exciting albeit mildly anxiety provoking to have others weigh in on its quality, but we've gotten some top-shelf guidance. I want to use this forum to explain what we're going to try to do, but don't have the energy to do that now. I'm waiting for a bus, you see, so I have to focus on that.
Will write again,
Rebecca
