Good News

Actually -- unbelievable, fantastic, amazing news.

One of my huge dissertation grants, which covers all my dissertation-related travel expenses to Africa, has been approved. I am still in shock, mostly because I have spent the past YEAR applying for these grants, and it was a process with a lot of unknowns and uncertainty, so I have not quite gotten used to the fact that it has all worked out. Getting this big grant means that I can use my other grant money to do things like buy a new laptop, and have on hand in case more trouble goes down in Nairobi and I need to charter a private jet to get out of the country (just kidding) (I hope).
