The new job

This past week, my job assignment was changed from primary teacher trainer to secondary school teacher teaching math and science. so far I have only been a part of one training session but it seems like fun. I will be teaching in local schools this coming week. Hopefully, it will be a nice change of pace. I still can't believe I am in Uganda getting ready to work. It so strange thinking that I can sort of speak another language and then 5 weeks ago I didn't know it existed. Well stranger things happen all the time;)

PIneapples, matooke, and bed bugs

Life has indeed gotten interesting. I eat pineapple almost everyday in large quantities as well as suffer through my small portion of matooke which looks like yellow mush and tastes like starch. I have also gotten several new friends in my bed(BEDBUGS!). After going through the exciting and painfully complex task of cleaning my bed and sheets and blankets and pillows and everything, i get to spray pesticide in my room to kill everything. but in all honesty, bed bugs aside, things have been good. I really like the group of people I am with as well as the language I am learning which is luganda. My job is slowly making more sense though it seems like it is going to be a lot of work. Life is pretty routine here. The sunrises at 7 every morning with rooster and the mosquitoes come out every night at sunset at 7. Training is very programmed as well as homestay life. If I am not at training or studying I am doing some household chore like sweeping or washing clothes. This coming week I get to visit a pc volunteer in the field to get a better idea of life at site so that should be fun. Otherwise, life is good. Siiba Bulungi!!
