just to hear myself talk...
As a rule, I usually don't write without inspiration. If I do, it can just turn ugly. Or worse... things can get boring. But I feel that it's unjust that Mel is the only one who updates her blog... so I decided to write... not because of some intense inspiration or uncanny lucidity... but simply "just because".I spent the better part of the day today at an orientation for the Argentine version of Wycliffe Bible Translators (called Letras here) at our church. I found it fascinating. Here I was... La Plata, Argentina... miles and miles away from dear ol' UCLA... and I was doing linguistics homework! Find the pattern in the morphemes. Needless to say, the old adrenaline rush was back, and we were off and running in the world of phonetics. Exhilarating, I tell you.
Tomorrow the circle of life advances. Yes, that's right. The new STINT team is arriving. It's hard to believe that it's been nearly two years since I arrived here. But I think it's even more difficult to believe that in just a few short weeks, I'll be taking a fairly long sabbatical from South America. But don't cry for me, Argentina. (Come on... give me a break. It's late. I live in the land of Peron. At some point, music from Evita was bound to seep in.) Because I'll be back.
Note to self: next time, wait for the inspiration to come. Writing without it could prove hazardous.

Yeah but how sad that Mel took her blog offline! Gone, obliterated, destroyed, never to be seen or heard from again. I think I cried for 12343297532798 hours upon finding it deleted. Sad, so sad. Oh well, at least I have yours to read! Love you Court!
