Hello,
I apologize for the late post. I have been unusually busy with school. We have been talking a lot in school about expectations. And I feel the one expectations I had was for school to easy here but it has been very difficult. I feel kind of overwhelmed with doing good and school and interacting with the people here and enjoying it.
It’s also really hard for me to update you guys on everything because so much is happening, I don’t know where to start. Last weekend we went to a place called Jinja, Uganda and we got to know the students in the dorms here. We stayed at this resort that was really fancy and had a pool. It has really great getting to know the students here, they are very fun even though there are some cultural barriers and such.
This upcoming weekend our group is going Jinjah again to bungee jump and raft. I am excited for that. Otherwise I am really like being back in the dorms after my home stay. I have two American roommates and we have been getting along. Uganda is just beautiful, I love the hot weather, although we have been getting a lot of rain. I get a little sick of the dinning hall food as we have rice and beans for lunch and supper. Although the fruit here is amazing, so flavorful!
I guess it is quite the experience going to school here while adjusting to this culture. These people are very different in the way they think then we do, it always takes some adjusting every day. Another random thing is I really like milk tea, haha. This is all. Sorry for the somewhat shallow, boring post. I have been already writing papers so it’s hard to write blog posts as well. But I miss you all, I hope Canada life is wonderful!
