DAY 169

The days are starting to fly by. Soon enough it’s going to be July and from the start of July I’ll have a month and a handful of days until I’m leaving Tanzania. Yesterday at work was good. The boss came back in the morning and then left in the around noon. Almost everyone else […]

DAY 168

As I woke up yesterday morning, I was greeted by a horrid stench. I wouldn’t say the overall smell is generally pleasant, but this odor was particularly bad. I remember my first thought was if I had maybe pooped myself (keep in mind I was just waking up, so I wasn’t thinking too clearly!). Then

DAY 167

My morning routine is really coming together these days. Just recently I have been able to get up at 5am and add an extra hour to my day. I was worried that it would lead me to be super tired (stealing that hour of sleep and whatnot) but I’m finding that more than anything it

DAY 166

At work, the Tanzania big boss has left for a week of leave, so everything is moving super slow. Yesterday morning, after having prepared for the day and breakfast, I found myself showing up to work right at 8:00am. Normally I’m the second or third person into the office, and have no problem getting inside.

DAY 165

Yesterday was a very calm day overall. In the morning, I woke up feeling well rested after finally getting a good nights sleep. As I went about my morning routine, I heard a blaring noise—a religious recital repeating “Allahu Akbar”. This wasn’t surprising, I’ve been hearing the Muslim call to prayer all throughout my time

DAY 164

Yesterday turned out to be fairly eventful despite the slow start. My morning was super lazy and I didn’t really want to do anything throughout the whole of it. Thankfully, I got a momentary urge to go out, so I grab ahold of it and called up my friend to see what I could get

DAY 163

Yesterday I spent most of the day out and about. Most of my morning was spent online doing some job searching and whatnot. I was totally content with this, but I realized that I needed to get out. I went to take a late breakfast around 11:00am, just on the backside of the hotel. The

DAY 162

Yesterday was pretty entertaining. My morning went well. I’ve been waking up before my alarm these past few days which I’m not happy about. I still feel tired when I wake up, but I can’t seem to get back to sleep. Maybe it’s too hot (even though it feels good in the early hours of

DAY 161

Yesterday was nothing too crazy. Work was fun because we had a meeting and it got a little chaotic. Every month there are supposed to be program status meetings for each of the 7 programs. There haven’t been any for the past few months because the team who oversees them is very busy. But now

DAY 160

Yesterday was another very busy and productive day. Nothing exciting about my morning. I have resumed listening to a daily news podcast though. In Arusha I had picked up the habit, but let it go when the only thing I heard about was the war. Nowadays interest has seemed to die down and the news
