Wild horses couldn't drag me away...from Samara

Well, I just got back to the Valley from my days in Samara where I got to do the beach thing, visit a coffee cooperative, have a barn burner of a debate, and drink mucho tequila. I'm sure there is more to be said, but frankly, I'm worn out.

This weekend I am spending writting my research paper and finishing up a journal assignment. My program officially ends on Wednesday. I am sticking around a few extra days because I can, but I will be back in the States on the evening of the 18th.
