My brother T just got the rest of the leftover chili out of the fridge. This is a doubly-sad occasion. First, because it means the tasty chili is all gone. Second, because he put too much of my hot sauce in it and made it too hot for him to eat. He'd been sick and didn't get any the first time around, so this was all that he was going to get. I feel bad about that, but not so bad that I didn't eat it myself.

Thanks to advice and suggestions from both Danae and another awesome person, I think I will have a stronger statement of intent for my next two applications that are coming due, um *looks at the bottom-right corner of the primary monitor*, today now!

I'm taking a break and thinking about photo editing again. Here's a self-portrait on the roof of Casa de Carmelita, a hotel in San Cristóbal de las Casas that I stayed at with the other Parkside folks on our service-learning trip to Chiapas.

I will write this trip up. Maybe even during my break in Canada. I even have some sound recordings to include, if I can figure out how. I can still close my eyes and imagine the howler monkeys! I looked at my notes to remind myself of the name of the hotel. What I found was two paragraphs where I wrote at length, with occasional profanity, about how miserable I'd been and how wonderful it was to be at a hotel. I'm a little embarrassed about how poor a job I did at getting acclimated to the conditions there, but it did help me learn some things about myself. And that was a primary goal of the trip for me, so it worked out well.
