DC (Johns Hopkins) Bound

Oh, and in some non-Niger news… Looks like barring any 11th hour revelation that I’m headed to Johns Hopkins University in Washington DC this summer/next fall. I’ll be enrolling in their School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) for a Masters degree in International Economics and International Development (the IDEV program). I always sort of thought and expected that I’d be back in New York. But in the end, I couldn’t ignore that Johns Hopkins was far and away my favorite program, so while I’m sad to not be living in the same city as a controlling majority of my favorite people in the world (not counting of course those I’ve met over the last few years here in Niger), I’ll be just a short china town bus away and promise to visit as much as possible. A Rub appearance is anticipated some time late summer or early fall.

Alright, now I’m back off to Matameye for as long as possible.

Kind of a bootleg website to be honest, but a sweet program.
