It seems like my life is going to be wonderfully boring. In one respect I love having a routine and structure, but I don’t exactly enjoy sitting at a desk all day doing similar things all the time. And right now it looks as if I’m going to have a good balance (and have to […]

Wowwww. I’m very impressed looking at that number. But, I just did the some math because I was interested and my entire planned stay is 247 days. So I’m only about 2/5 of the way through. This is exciting, but I’m also a bit sad because I miss home. Anyways, yesterday was good and boring.

Yesterday I arrived in Hawassa where I will be living and working for the next two months!! I can’t believe that only 24 hours ago I was still in Addis Ababa. All the traveling is making time move super slow and me super tired. I really enjoyed Addis—the lifestyle, the pace of things, the environment—so

Yesterday was great. After 12 hours of sleep I was feeling like the jet lag was gone—it wasn’t until like 6pm that it hit me again, but at that point I was back to the hotel and ready for dinner. I left for the office around 8:30 and started work at 9:00. I think I’m

In about 24 hours I will be landing in Addis Ababa and starting my first day with Water For Good. This next day is going to be very tiring, I’m really hoping I’ll be able to sleep on my flights. Yesterday was bittersweet. I’m very excited to be on the move again and starting something

Yesterday was a long one! Per usual, the morning bus route to collect the kiddos. Surprisingly, it went smooth. No getting stuck—except for a brief scare that we got out of quickly—and we got to school on time. When we arrived parade was in progress. Ezekia and I had music class yesterday for most of

Time is starting to fly. Just yesterday I was thinking I’ll be gone in a week, but that yesterday was 5 days ago and the week is now only 2 days. I don’t know what happened. Yesterday I think I was hit with a bit of karma. The previous day I had been giggling at

I had really missed being at school. It’s not that I was getting bored at home over break, I used my holiday productively and kept busy, it’s just that school is so unpredictable and keeps me on my toes. Yesterday morning on the route we had to go save two bus loads of kids. The
