old friend

Yesterday, I made a cup of chai. This sounds trivial to you. But it isn't. That was the first cup of chai that I have made for myself since being at school this year.

Drinking chai is a part of who I am. Chai made itself a part of my soul in Africa. You can laugh, but when I make chai, its me reconnecting with my heart. Drinking chai makes me think about things that are bigger than I am. And this year, I have been way too selfish.

This year has been a struggle. I dropped a class, turned in 3 papers almost a month late, and have been playing catch-up all fall. This is not andra. But I can't really tell you who it is...
