I polished off my Migration and Development reaction paper today, only to move on to the final draft of my thesis proposal. The latter is actually quite enjoyable since a thesis is so much more a personal thing.
All over the news are reports of the swine flu and its pandemic potential. Some nations are even issuing travel warnings to not only Mexico, but the States as well. It's strange to feel so unaffected by virtue of being in Egypt. Usually it's the other way around: "Oh good, another case of bird flu? Parasites in the water? Bilharzia in the Nile? Pollution so thick you can taste? Wish I were in America." For now, I'm glad the pigs are so far away.
