back from (m)Oz

New Year in Zam, and just got back from holidays in Joburg, Swaziland, and (mostly) Mozambique yesterday. Photos to follow once I upload them, but first some new years' resolutions generated in the over 50 hours of bus transport traveled over the last 2 weeks:

1. Swear less.
2. Be more patient.
3. Stress less about the things I can't control.
   
4. Don't say everything that pops into my head out loud.
   
5. Start running - especially since I just bought some new running shoes.
6. Get back in the habit of using an honest-to-goodness paper planner. It's satisfying, and organized.
   
7. Explore Africa more before moving from Zambia. This includes attempting to do the following: road trip Namibia, half marathon (egh) Cape Town, music festival in Zanzibar, and climb Kiliminjaro.
8. Corrollary of previous resolution - try to get 1 week off vacation per month.
9. Explore the U.S. since it's silly to be exploring abroad if I haven't even really seen all of my own country.
