Photo essay

I found this incredible photo essay on civilians caught in the Colombian conflict:

We have one week to go... I had a meeting with my supervisor at NPSIA (James Ron), and I am continuing to realize what a huge bite I have taken. This endeavour is already becoming tough to chew, much less swallow. But I am notorious for taking on more than I can handle - only to push myself towards an early grave in order to meet my own ridiculously high standards. Both of my advisors assure me that everyone feels like they have no idea what they are doing when they begin fieldwork. I hope they are not just trying to make me feel better.

That's it for today - I have a final Spanish presentation to finish and then many errands to run. Check back soon for a more detailed post on my research ambitions.
