I am feeling a lot better than I was a few days ago, probably because of my very quiet weekend in the hotel. On Friday when I was supposed to be on a boat in the Sundarbans I went for a pedicure and a massage, so that wasn't the end of the world. I found a great parlor in Gulshan when I was preparing for the wedding and I said I would go back, and I am very glad I did- the manager said she had missed me because of my smile and she is very sweet, she gave me the best masseuse at the salon who was a guy and was amaaazing. I will for sure be going back, although probably not next week as they seem to think lol! My heels were very grateful for their treatment and I now have pretty neon pink toesies.
Other than my sympathy day-at-the-spa, it's been very laid back with lots of sleep, some movies, and some time on my research project for Global Politics. I got through most of my articles as identified for my proposal but I have found some other ones I will need, which I will be going through later. Soon I hope to start getting organized to write! For Grameen Trust, I only have one more Build-Operate-Transfer project to research in detail, then I will fill the holes in a few other projects and get down to the writing business for that as well! I don't know if I will have much opportunity to research in detail some of the other stuff going on at GT but I would like to. It all depends on how quickly I can get access to documents and people- especially Prof Latifee. Tomorrow I will be busy finalizing my proposal to Carleton for the Students for Development program, and then that is one thing done, off my list, and out of my hands. I do hope that goes through, because I think Grameen is a great organization and has a lot to offer students who will work hard and get things done. All in all, things are trucking (or rickshawing) along and soon it will be back to classes and work (if I can find a job...) in the Great White North. I am halfway through my placement; six weeks down, six to go. Exciting times!
