Whoah-oh! Livin' on a prayer!
This week marks the midpoint in my summer experience.
While I feel like I've accomplished a lot (personal, recreation, professional), this milestone means that my opportunity to make a lasting impact dwindles every day.
Luckily I was just assigned a behemoth of a modeling project with serious significance at the office. I'm also taking on some HR tasks, like creating employee/manager manuals and standardizing their review and promotion processes.
This week I also moved into a new house. I'm living with a some coworkers in a spot that's only 15 minutes from the office by foot (instead of an hour). The walk is great, too. It's through a very neighborhood-y area, where lots of people greet us with warm smiles. I'll miss my running route through the University of Dar, but hopefully I can discover a new, safe loop.
The house is really open and welcoming. Pros: high ceilings, no TV/AC/silly appliances and a big kitchen. Cons: foam mattress on the floor, mosquito-ville and less attractive plumbing situation. Regardless, I'm stoked about the move... ready to conquer the second half of my time in Tanzania. Take my hand, and we'll make it I swear!

So now it's all downhill. Take a break from running and enjoy the daily walk. Just about the time you get settled you will be at the airport headed back. Love, Dad.
