DAY 144

Yesterday was yet another long day in the field. Thankfully it’s started a bit later—and by a bit I mean a bit—I got to sleep in until 6:30am! I got picked up after quickly stuffing some breakfast down, and we hit the road at 7:15. We got to our first site for filming at 8:00am. […]

DAY 143

Yesterday was back to the field again. The day started a little bit later and I was grateful for the extra sleep and ability to eat breakfast. After about an hour and a half of driving, we reached our area for filming. As opposed to the previous day of traveling all around, yesterday was spent

DAY 142

Yesterday was a very full and long day. By the end I was exhausted, but it was a lot of fun and my spirits were kept up throughout the 14 hours out in the field. I was supposed to be picked up at 7am so I woke around 5:30 to shower and get ready. It

DAY 141

Yesterday was a smooth day. I woke up at my regular hour. With my new haircut I’m finding that I have to battle it to look somewhat decent—in the mornings it wants to stand straight up on end. My solution is to wash it out, but the water is fairly frigid in the mornings and

DAY 140

Yesterday was a calm day. In the morning I found myself with no alarm set. Thankfully I woke up naturally at half past six, but even if I hadn’t I wasn’t worried—the streets wake up around 7am with revving motorcycles and shouting voices. At work I’m getting really into a project which I’m enjoying. My

DAY 139

Yesterday was a good day. But before I get into it, I’m going to give a warning. Some images are pretty graphic and disturbing as the holiday being celebrated was one called Eid al-Adha or the “Festival of Sacrifice”. So, just be warned that towards the end of today’s post there is discussion of gore

DAY 138

Yesterday was another pretty standard day at work, but took a fun turn after I left. My morning went as usual, except that I didn’t eat alone. While I was wasting, a cute tabby cat sauntered on over to me and seemed to think I owed it some type of meal. Of course I gave

DAY 137

I have a nice routine going these days. Yesterday seemed to follow it to a tee. I woke up at 6am and got ready for the day. I did some duolingo to practice my Swahili—I’m finding that applying my learning from a language app to the real world is not as smooth or effective as

DAY 136

I attended church again yesterday morning with my coworker. I didn’t enjoy it as much as last Sunday. I think because it wasn’t as mew and unique, it wasn’t as exciting. If I had it my way I don’t know if I would go back. But, according to the culture, I think it’s a bad

DAY 135

I have mixed feelings about yesterday. My morning was fairly productive. I did my laundry, which took almost two hours because it had stacked up from during the week. I used to be able to wear a pair of pants or a shirt a few times before needing to wash them, but the hotter weather
