ANOTHER PLAN!

Alright, I might have a ANOTHER TENTATIVE plan, but I am still waiting for STA to get back to me on my flight change. My plan is to leave for Uganda sometime between Monday and Thursday to spend a little time in Kampala and then to journey back via Nairobi for the election. Some people from my volunteer group will probably do this too and that makes it more tempting. Otherwise I might forgo the long bus ride and bum around in Kenya. Later maybe Malawi? But as I have not yet received flight confirmation, I could still be coming back on the 28th. Now you might be asking yourself, "Emily, why is your planning ability so awesome?" and the answer is, "uh...(see the previously belated drunken post for more information on my mad processing skills at the moment)."

So there you have it.

Zanzibar was great. Traveling was great. On the way back from Dar to Arusha I even finally got to hang my white ass out there with the best of them over a ditch next to the busy highway. (Note to self bring kanga for next bus ride). This was actually on my list of things to do, right next to buying a chicken and giving it away and milking a cow. Check, check, and check!

Now I am back and tying up loose ends. My students are bloody awesome. I will really miss them. My last day is Friday at school. I really should get certified for TEFL when I get back. I enjoy teaching adults English. They try so hard. So anyway, working on making plans and checking my e-mail neurotically until STA says I can pay for my date change.

Does anyone know of a TEFL program that might help you get a masters degree for teaching in the states?

Anyway, feel free to experience the following rambling post from a few weeks ago. I should note, I am not as depressed as I was when I decided to belt out that glorious work of art, but it is still difficult going home at night and realizing that there is nothing much to do but write and re-count those malaria pills. Sun down at 6:30, dinner at 8, no company... It gets to you. But I like to think that it is for a greater good.
