DAY 149

Yesterday was a pretty calm day. I woke up early but took a long time getting out of bed. I did my duolingo for a while, stretched and then finally got moving. Breakfast was especially good yesterday; the hotel had these crepe like things, some eggs, potatoes and some other stuff. I spent about an […]

DAY 148

It was another relaxing day in the office yesterday. My morning went as usual. My duolingo habit in the morning is actually really helpful these days. I’m starting to expand my Swahili vocabulary, and although I still struggle to speak it, I’m finding that identifying words spoken to me in Swahili is becoming less difficult.

DAY 147

Yesterday was a much welcomed day of boring desk work. I was starting to get exhausted and worn out with all the events and days in the hot sun, it was about time for things to slow down. My morning was relaxing. I woke up and was able to lay in bed for a little

DAY 146

Yesterday was the final day of the commotion. I’m both glad to be getting back to desk work and sad to be saying goodbye to the visiting staff. It was another early morning out in the field. We left my hotel around 8:00am after having some breakfast and got to the site an hour later.

DAY 145

Yesterday was a very special experience. I had a few complaints about how long the day was, but in the end I had a great time. One thing I am grateful for these days is when I can eat breakfast; it’s only been one or two times I’ve had to skip it, but those miserable

DAY 144

Yesterday was yet another long day in the field. Thankfully it’s started a bit later—and by a bit I mean a bit—I got to sleep in until 6:30am! I got picked up after quickly stuffing some breakfast down, and we hit the road at 7:15. We got to our first site for filming at 8:00am.

DAY 143

Yesterday was back to the field again. The day started a little bit later and I was grateful for the extra sleep and ability to eat breakfast. After about an hour and a half of driving, we reached our area for filming. As opposed to the previous day of traveling all around, yesterday was spent

DAY 142

Yesterday was a very full and long day. By the end I was exhausted, but it was a lot of fun and my spirits were kept up throughout the 14 hours out in the field. I was supposed to be picked up at 7am so I woke around 5:30 to shower and get ready. It

DAY 141

Yesterday was a smooth day. I woke up at my regular hour. With my new haircut I’m finding that I have to battle it to look somewhat decent—in the mornings it wants to stand straight up on end. My solution is to wash it out, but the water is fairly frigid in the mornings and

DAY 140

Yesterday was a calm day. In the morning I found myself with no alarm set. Thankfully I woke up naturally at half past six, but even if I hadn’t I wasn’t worried—the streets wake up around 7am with revving motorcycles and shouting voices. At work I’m getting really into a project which I’m enjoying. My
