I woke up yesterday having finally slept well. It was an amazing feeling! More of the same thing as Friday. I went out after breakfast to a coffee shop. I still can’t say I enjoy the coffee, but it’s definitely growing on me! I walked around for about an hour and found myself at a […]
It was a holiday yesterday—Labor Day. I spent my morning booking flights and applying for a visa for Tanzania in lieu of my itinerary alterations. I did a little bit of work because I’ve been assigned a new task of some data analysis and I need to learn the softwares. At noon I decided to
Yesterday was interesting. I woke up around 3:00am and couldn’t get back to sleep no matter what I tried. I’ve been stressed out recently because my Ethiopian visa was supposed to be extendable, but now I’m finding that it is “not valid for extension”. More about that issue later. At 4:00 I gave up trying
Yesterday was very eventful and quite the mixed bag. My morning started off normal. I had my breakfast and then spent some time getting ready for the day. I found myself with an extra hour because I had woken up earlier than normal, and spent that time setting up my LinkedIn. I went to work

Yesterday was super fun. I was able to get out and tour the city of Hawassa a bit. My morning started with a walk to the hotel where a few coworkers were staying. I had some breakfast there with them before we were kicked out—the prime minister of Ethiopia is visiting there this weekend and
Yesterday was nice. First day back at the office after the field visits. I had missed my morning routine. Unfortunately the power went out right as I was making my eggs. I just cracked them into the pan when the stove snapped off and I was a bit sad to miss my breakfast, but it
Yesterday started off early. We hit the road around 6:30am with a busy day of site seeing on the horizon We made it to the town of Kokosa nearly 4 hours later after a bumpy ride through villages and countryside. All of us were really hungry, not having had time to eat breakfast. I was
