Post-travel doldrums

Culture shock has subsided and life is basically back to normal now. That is to say, I have become myself again. Plunging back into academia so quickly after my return probably did it. Nothing cleanses the soul of Africa like the pursuit of mahogany-framed fancy pieces of paper written in Latin!

I'm unsure whether or not this is a good thing or a bad thing. Frankly, I'm trying not to care.
