let me start from the beginning...

so i started the first few posts of this blog (april fool: parts 1 2 3 and leaving wum) from the very end of my peace corps service. around the one incident that i think in many ways encapsulated my two years in cameroon. and while those posts do well to introduce some of the main themes of this blog (see why dis?), there's still a lot to be said about how i got to that point in my service. a lot to be said about how i got to cameroon, then how i got to wum, whom i met along the way, and what it all taught me.
