Half a year. Wow! one thing that I’m happy to say—which I wasn’t too keen about at first—is that it has felt much much longer than 6 months. You know, I spent 6 months away from home at college (even longer in fact), but I always had those holidays and breaks crammed in between quarters […]

Yesterday was much needed. I love the office work, don’t get me wrong, but I think I needed a little trip out to the field. It was an impromptu adventure; I was getting settled in for another day in the little office when a coworker asked me if I wanted to go to the field.

I don’t really like the whole holiday in the middle of the week thing. I feel like it just throws everything off for the rest of the week. Yesterday nobody really seemed in the work mindset, and I know it was certainly a struggle for me. It was a regular day full of analyzing some

Yesterday was a relaxing holiday. With my morning I spent some time in the office. WiFi at the hotel was out (and has been for the past few weeks unfortunately) and I wanted to do some job searching, so I stopped by the office for a bit. No one else was there, so I was

My morning was maybe one of the most unproductive mornings I’ve had so far. The day of work didn’t technically start until 9:00am because we had morning devotion. I think I’ve said this before: I enjoy sitting around the big meeting table and singing Swahili hymns, but when it’s followed by 45 minutes of Swahili

I’m a little disappointed in myself for yesterday. I was out and about almost the entire day, but only managed to take two pictures. My morning was spent finishing my current book.

Yesterday was a fun Saturday. My morning started with going to the office because my data plan ran out and the WiFi at the hotel was also out. I hung around there for a little bit. A coworker showed up and kept me some company for a while. The plan for my day was to

Yesterday was another really busy day at work. I think it’s that the teams I’m working on having been slowly giving me more trust and responsibility; most of my day is pretty independent, but spent on bigger, longer projects rather than constantly completing small tasks. I’m really thankful that I’m working under both the monitoring

Yesterday was good, but wayyy too long for my liking. My morning was full of time because I actually woke up to my alarm. I was able to get everything done that I wanted before heading off for work. Things like stretching, practicing some Swahili, calling friends/family and whatnot all fit very nicely into the

Wowowow! A new month and ever so closer to my departure from Tanzania. I’m coming to the point where I’m ready to go home, but I’m continuing to push myself to make the most of every moment here because I know I’ll be upset at myself if I look back and see I just waited
