When I get settled...
It's good here... but I'm looking forward to when it will get better. There are things that are hopefully going to change soon. First I am staying with one of the owners of the school and his wee herd of children who attend the school. The family is really sweet and lovely and are bending over backwards to accommadate me.
I just want my own space.
Their food is lovely, I really enjoy Ethiopian food, but my large intestine doesn't enjoy it all. The reaction is violent and unpleasent. When I get settled I'll be mostly cooking for myself. I hope that happens before my students start to call me Ms Farty-bum Rachel.
It's rainy season at the moment so clothes take days and days to dry. I'm having a few laundry issues, When I get settled I'll know market prices and buy a few more clothes. Despite all the water falling from the sky there is still a lot of water problems, There is currently no running water in the house I'm staying in, and due to the large amount of people, my bucket showers are every second day. When I get settled, I 'll have long hot showers and I'll have jerry cans of water saved for emergencys. I hope that happens before my Students start to call me Ms Smelly-pits Rachel.
I have loads of incredibly itchy bumps all over me, they seem to be getting worse. I have just looked up "Scabies" on the web. Dunno. I'm not very good at self digonosis, but they are much too small for bedbugs. It says that it kicks off after a few weeks and I've ony been itchy for one. I'm not going to wait, even if I don't have scabies, I don't think I'm going to do any damage my getting ointment now. Better get onto it before my students start calling me Ms Scabby-skin Rachel.
I'm also having massive internet issues. The government here used to be communist (and they still have soviet style sculptues in the city to prove it). They still own all telecommunications. As well as being slow as immigration there appears to be a few restrictions on the web: I can login and edit this blog, but I can't veiw it. So if I repeat myself I'm sorry. Also I can't see any comments. My mother is now emailing them to me. (She's on her way to Canada at the moment, you can see where I get travel gene from huh). Also I can veiw my Myspace... but can't log in. darn.
When I get settled in I'll adjust to the limited access, I hope that happens before my students start to call me Ms Phyco-stress-head Rachel.
