Yesterday was very long. I got up at 5am to get ready for church in the morning. My coworker from work took me to her Pentecostal church. It was better than what I had experienced before in Arusha because this time there was a lot of dancing and a bit more animated during the service. […]
Yesterday turned out to be good. My morning started out really slow. I woke up at 6, had breakfast, and then puttered around. I went out a couple times—to the bank and to get some fruit—but I found it much more enjoyable in my air conditioned room. The brutal heat makes it almost unbearable to
Despite protests from both my sleepy mind and tired body, I was able to wake early. I always feel better throughout the day if I wake up early and don’t have to rush getting ready, so it’s a habit I’m trying to get into. The breakfast yesterday was better than the day prior. I was
Yesterday was perfectly uneventful. It went just how I wished and gave me a warm, relaxing welcome to the city of Shinyanga. I aimed to wake up early yesterday morning, but failed to do so on account of my need for sleep. My alarm pulled me from my dreams at 6am, but I was quick
As rough as yesterday should have been, it went relatively smooth. The whole awake-for-30-hours-thing confused me as to when my “day” ended and the next started in regard to my blog posting. In the end I decided sunup is the best marker. So with that: I spent my morning from 3am to 6am at the
Yesterday was long. I never really got to sleep, so today and yesterday have blended together, making it feel like one miserable stretch of time. Despite my lack of sleep, the actual day was great. In the morning I went to work for my final goodbyes. I can’t believe that just 24 hours ago I
Yesterday marked four months of my journey here in Africa, and my last day in Hawassa. This morning I leave Hawassa around 10:00 to spend the day in Addis Ababa and then off to Tanzania later this evening. It would have also marked the halfway point of my travels, but that milestone passed, unnoticed, a
Yesterday went by so quickly. Thankfully this was because I had set out to walk around Hawassa for the day, determined to make the most of my last few days here. I left home at 8 to get coffee. After my morning cup, I set off to start the day. I took many pictures, wanting
Yesterday I decided to go into work for a few hours in the morning. Before I set off on Tuesday I want to square away some tasks I need to complete, so I might end up doing some work today as well, I’m not sure yet though. As I left, I was surprised to find
Yesterday was nice. I’m really getting into the coffee habit. Before work I stopped by the coffee shop near my place and had a good ol cup a joe. I know in Tanzania they don’t drink coffee, so hopefully I haven’t built up a reliance on it for caffeine energy. Normally Fridays move slowly and
