Morgan

On December 1st, 2012 one of my fellow exchange students and a close friend of mine, Morgan Lide, drowned in Bali.  It has been really hard to blog in these past months.  I have opened up my computer many times, feeling guilty about not documenting my journey, but it is too painful to talk about but also too important to leave out.  Basically my whole month of December was dedicated to working through my personal pain and issues with her loss, and even after that, her memory and my feelings about her loss have been twisted into everything I do.  It's finally now, that I feel like I can extract the personal from the factual and describe my adventure in Indonesia to the internet in general.
