welcome to the AfroSpear

what i thought would be another slow and tedious day turned out to be anything but that (until later as i am writing this post at 8:30 pm, but still.........let's keep things positive). i got a most unexpected invitation to become a part of the AfroSpear think tank and share my thoughts/ideas/concerns/etc. with some of the best and brightest all over the world via my digital soap box (better known as my blog)!!! if you scroll down on my blog, you will see the members' pages/blogs. these are some pretty heavy individuals, and i do not take this new found responsibility lightly. it's motivating and intimidating all at the same time, but i could not be more proud to be among the ranks of these fellow catalysts for change in america and throughout the world!!! this movement was a GREAT idea and i applaud the vision and efforts of those individuals who started this conscious effort. it's an honor and a privilege, and i look forward to sparking thought and insight as part of this network from a student's perspective.

as for work, i finally (FINALLY!!!) made my way through the jungle of problems that i have faced the last month or so and can continue with the next steps of my research. the conference in san diego will consume my time for the next week and a half, but i can continue to run tests in the background while my focus is diverted to more time-sensitive tasks. i am looking forward to getting back to america for the conference and for my internship this summer. God knows i need it!!!
