Back in Addis

I have been back in Addis for 2 weeks now, finishing up with my classes, taking exams, and finishing work that I had procrastinated. Monday begins my Independent Study Project time, and I am really looking forward to doing my own research, and not just in the library. Even though I probably will be hanging out in the library for quite a while. My project is on the animals of Ethiopian Religions, and may actually be the way that I link Zoology and Religious Studies. Who would've guessed that that would be possible? I just got back from taking pictures and talking to my advisor about ISP. I realized that I had lots of pics of travelling, but almost none of Addis, so I am trying to correct that problem, especially considering I spent most of my time here. I am finally done with my work and have the weekend off, so I plan to spend tomorrow wondering the city and taking pictures. It should be a good day. Just a little anecdote to finish this off: On the way back from the SIT office today I was walking at my usual fast pace, and then I found myself at the back end of a giant herd of sheep. It was either walk slow, or walk in the street and dodge cars. I chose the latter. Luckily I had my camera with me, because it was quite an absurd scene. That is all to report, I hope everyone is doing well back in the States.
