Out to field early, feeling tired and worn. Write some emails, do some data entry in the afternoon and talk a nice walk with Talak and his mom. Big Trustee’s dinner at the ranch house tonight. End up hanging more with Kenyan staff than with biggidy wigs. Expecting to chat with my fellowship coordinator, but we never do. Return back to station, feeling odd that we never interacted (should have I interrupted one of his conversations with the other Trustees?!) Check email, and read “As you probably already know by now, happy to inform you that we’re extending your funding.” After all this waiting and anticipating this important interaction is it really actually already decided?!
