I'm back in Santa Barbara, still getting back into the swing of things - classes, TAing and work, a far cry from the beaches and laid back style of Rio. On the brighter side, I've gone back to jogging and have also begun taking an Afro-Brazilian dance class.
I will be updating my blog soon (Santa Barbara Edition!), but I need to post one more entry about Rio de Janeiro - my time in a favela - while the memory is still relatively intact. Will get to that another night, though, since I still have to prepare a presentation for class tomorrow - Global Environmental Law and Policy, really a very interesting course.
Have no fear, this blog is not dead just because I am back in California.... more to come.
