Yesterday was long. I never really got to sleep, so today and yesterday have blended together, making it feel like one miserable stretch of time. Despite my lack of sleep, the actual day was great. In the morning I went to work for my final goodbyes. I can’t believe that just 24 hours ago I […]
Yesterday marked four months of my journey here in Africa, and my last day in Hawassa. This morning I leave Hawassa around 10:00 to spend the day in Addis Ababa and then off to Tanzania later this evening. It would have also marked the halfway point of my travels, but that milestone passed, unnoticed, a
Yesterday went by so quickly. Thankfully this was because I had set out to walk around Hawassa for the day, determined to make the most of my last few days here. I left home at 8 to get coffee. After my morning cup, I set off to start the day. I took many pictures, wanting
Yesterday I decided to go into work for a few hours in the morning. Before I set off on Tuesday I want to square away some tasks I need to complete, so I might end up doing some work today as well, I’m not sure yet though. As I left, I was surprised to find
Yesterday was nice. I’m really getting into the coffee habit. Before work I stopped by the coffee shop near my place and had a good ol cup a joe. I know in Tanzania they don’t drink coffee, so hopefully I haven’t built up a reliance on it for caffeine energy. Normally Fridays move slowly and

Yesterday was a weird day. I slept in on account of turning off my alarm and accidentally falling back asleep. Thankfully, I naturally woke back up around half past six and was able to get to work on time (I did skip breakfast however). My morning was boring but rewarding. As I go about learning
It was yet another holiday yesterday. I’m not quite sure for what, I think independence from some regime. My morning was spent watching a movie, doing a small bit of work, and finalizing my travel plans. I booked my flight to Tanzania and was surprised it cost near as much as my flight from America
Yesterday was pretty boring. The morning didn’t hold anything special other than the ability to shower! In my first few weeks here, my morning routine consisted of breakfast and a shower. Warm water isn’t a luxury I have, so the cold morning showers really helped to jolt me awake. Without them I was feeling a
One of my coworkers got married yesterday and I had the privilege of attending! It’s funny to think I’ve been to two weddings in Africa, but have yet to go to a wedding in the states. I think I went to one when I was young, but I hardly remember it so that doesn’t count.
