doing well...

hi all!

well, i am still in ibadan, and i have a library card! my research is shaping up. only complaint being persistent carpel tunnel problem making writing difficult...but i am determined to resolve this somehow! off to abeokuta this weekend to visit my adoptive mummy and a few very good friends. met a canadian student at the university here who wants to tag along, so it should be a fun time. a few days ago i was invited along on a trip to lagos with the uncle of a friend of mine. while the uncle experienced very big wahala (hassle) with the banks, i managed to buy a pair of jeans at a lagos market. in the late afternoon we went for lunch at a boat club of which he is a member. i ate gigantic prawns while enjoying the sound of the lagoon lapping concrete and the smell of early hyacinth flowers floating in the wakes. the experience really took me back to childhood, when we lived on the bank of that same lagoon and my wee brother and i played with the snails and coconut husks. i am very well and happy here...
