DAY 173

Yet another regular day. But as I say this, I think maybe there’s nothing normal about my days, I have just become accustomed to them. But I guess that’s what makes something normal or regular—consistent exposure and repetition that is. Work was interesting actually. Up until 2pm I don’t think I really looked up from […]

DAY 172

I hate to say it, but yesterday was about as boring as it gets and I loved it! I slept in a little after my alarm and had to skip my morning stretching. I’m really not good at getting up earlier than my body wants—that’s one of the big things I’ve learned over these months.

DAY 171

Yesterday was a mix of lazy and productive. I got started with the day late, but by 10:00 I was in the full swing of things. I spent a couple hours doing some work which wasn’t very exciting, but it put me in a good mood to get something done. A little after 1:00pm I

DAY 170

Yesterday morning I woke up very confused. The previous night I had stayed up too late for my liking and was expecting to wake up feeling out of sorts. However, getting out of bed I felt very motivated and happy. And I didn’t sleep too well either, so the amount of energy I had was

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
