DAY 119

When I first started with WFG, I found myself questioning my decision. All of the tasks I do are online. I guess I did go out into the field my first week, but after that I’ve just been at a desk doing things I could do from anywhere in the world—given I have access to […]

DAY 118

Yesterday was a weird day. I slept in on account of turning off my alarm and accidentally falling back asleep. Thankfully, I naturally woke back up around half past six and was able to get to work on time (I did skip breakfast however). My morning was boring but rewarding. As I go about learning

DAY 117

It was yet another holiday yesterday. I’m not quite sure for what, I think independence from some regime. My morning was spent watching a movie, doing a small bit of work, and finalizing my travel plans. I booked my flight to Tanzania and was surprised it cost near as much as my flight from America

DAY 116

Yesterday was pretty boring. The morning didn’t hold anything special other than the ability to shower! In my first few weeks here, my morning routine consisted of breakfast and a shower. Warm water isn’t a luxury I have, so the cold morning showers really helped to jolt me awake. Without them I was feeling a

DAY 115

One of my coworkers got married yesterday and I had the privilege of attending! It’s funny to think I’ve been to two weddings in Africa, but have yet to go to a wedding in the states. I think I went to one when I was young, but I hardly remember it so that doesn’t count.

DAY 114

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

DAY 113

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

DAY 112

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

DAY 111

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

DAY 110

Time is starting to fly here in Hawassa. I think being busy is the cause of that. Yesterday was a normal day. I left for work around 7:45 and arrived at 8:00. I really enjoy having a short walk to work—if I need extra sleep or want to go home during the day it’s possible.
