why this blog exists

okay, so when i said that i would use capitals, i didn't mean all the time. that's too much work. what i meant is that i won't avoid using them. but really, i've gotten so used to microsoft word taking up my slack and capitalizing things that i think i've forgotten how to do it myself. also it hurts my carpal tunnel to use the shift key.

this blog has a specific purpose, which is to tell the stories of my upcoming summer in africa. i may post some old stuff that i wrote when i lived in rwanda, but really the intention of this one is to give news to those who don't feel like getting mass emails from me all the time.
