Skidmore We Rejoice To Sing Thy Praise!

Life has been particularly beautiful these past few days. I have been mostly reconnecting and coming into contact with my past lives. I passed through New York City where I attended the tenth anniversary service of Humanity in Action and spent some moments with Liat and other recent Skidmore graduates of my class year. It was nice to share stories with members of my grade who are also trying to create a niche in the so-called Real World. I enjoyed the words of consolation and hope for what the most recent public parlance refers to as ‘bailout.’

I am now at Skidmore where the reconnection is even better. It has been very exhausting trying to update everyone on my most recent activities, but it is a pleasure to be at home. In the life of a professional vagabond, home is where friends are. When I walk around Skidmore, I relive four years of toiling hard and ripping the most of the opportunities I was granted.

I am giving a public lecture on Thursday at 7pm in Ladd 206 relating to African development. I hope to share my two-penny worth of knowledge with my eager friends here. I have done quite a few public speaking, but at Skidmore, I am guaranteed love even when I blunder. I shall endeavor to give love in return!
