Yesterday was very long and led me to poor temper. I woke up at 5am to get ready for the day because I was told that we were leaving for the field at 7:00 sharp. I left the hotel around 6:30 to ensure that I was on time to work and didn’t hold anybody up. […]

Yesterday flew past me. In general, time has been acting funny. My days are moving extremely quick; it feels like I go to work, go to sleep, and then repeat it. But when I look back at this past week in Shinyanga, for that’s all that it’s been, Im so shocked to think it’s been

My mornings are starting to abide by a routine. I wake up around 6am, brush my teeth, stretch for a little bit (because my body has been very sore some this new exercise regiment), write my blog post, have some breakfast and off to work. Yesterday I woke up earlier though, as I hope to

Yesterday went well. My mornings have been starting a little later than I want, but I’m in somewhat of a routine. I try to wake at 5am, can’t muster the will power for it, and then continue sleeping until 6ish. At that point I wake up, get ready, do one or two things and then

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
